Nice presentation. In the mid 1970s, I was working at SAIC but moonlighted working at Salk Institute in La Jolla on weekends writing Algol code to facilitate collecting data from the various hardware they had in a lab. My boss at SAIC at the time was getting his PhD in CS, had to write his thesis in Algol, which I spent time helping him with. I then became a huge fan of UCSD Pascal on my Apple II which I used to write my Go playing program Honninbo Warrior, which I sold for a few years. Back then I mostly made my living writing FORTRAN so Algol and Pascal were a breath of fresh air.
