A very interesting book; I have already read some parts, and also implemented a few things: https://github.com/rochus-keller/Algol60 https://github.com/rochus-keller/Algol60.
The Algol 60 language report appeared in May 1960, so exactly sixty years ago.
- pjmlp 6y agoAnd ESPOL/NEWP were one of the first dialects used for systems programming, 10 years before C was born, still being sold by Unisys.
- nigwil_ 6y agoAs a reminder, we are still looking for complete distributions of the Burroughs B6700 MCP releases that include ESPOL/NEWP so we can complete an emulator and preserve this system into the future.
- pjmlp 6y agoNo chance getting collaboration out of Unisys?
- nigwil_ 6y agoWe received some files from Release II.1 (early 1972) but it is missing significant components. After that time we have bits and pieces but nothing complete. We remain hopeful that someone has a distribution tape from the 1970s and we would expect that to have all the needed components.
- nigwil_ 6y agoUnisys has helped but not unexpectedly the machines we are targeting were end-of-life in the late 1970s and so they did not keep software for them beyond that time.
