CDC mainframes and minis in the late 1980s (some or all of them) had a lovely OS written in Algol 68. I don't remember what it was called.

- spindle 5y agoThank you! You jogged my memory. It was NOS/VE - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOS/VE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOS/VE - and I see no mention of it being written in Algol68, but it used Algol68 semantics for some things (at least).
