Pascal-like syntax seemed to have been popular around the time. Outside the Writh languages(Pascal, Modula, Oberon) and Ada, I was reading about CHILL[0] the other day, which is supposedly similar to Ada, but was rather domain specific. Sadly I don't think any modern, free implementations exist.

- pjmlp 6y agoPascal is a simplification from ALGOL, so it is actually most ALGOL derived languages. C description tends to refer to ALGOL influence, but it just boils down to structured programming and the data types. Syntax has nothing from ALGOL.
- nsajko 6y agoVHDL has a quite similar syntax, too.
- sguav 6y agoIndeed VHDL is supposedly based as much as possible on Ada syntax. Naturally you would have several differences due to the purpose of the languages, but they are _very_ similar IMO
