If something doesn't have algol syntax, it generally doesn't do well with the masses. Look at where Common Lisp & Clojure sit on the TIOBE list(do they even break the top 20?) FP is picking up some steam, but I fear lisp never will especially with such fragmentation of language and vendor. I'm not really familiar with Logo, but it doesn't sound like it had parenthesis or brackets like Rebol (something to make it homoiconic), and since it is not in use anymore...that might be proving my point.
- kazinator 9y agoI posit, without proof, that Algol has Algol syntax. Where is Algol on TIOBE?
- throwaway7645 9y agoC, C#, C++, Java, & JS could be said to have a derivative of Algol syntax. That covers probably 90% of all software being actively written in the world.
