- dllthomas 10y agoI could see that putting you in a place where encountering people misusing "Algol-like" to mean C-like, when trying to distinguish from something more like Algol, would be extra noticeable and annoying. Likely you have just been lucky :)
- dalke 10y agoI hang around computational chemists. They wouldn't say "Algol-like" in the first place. So, double lucky!
