Should really be titled "Some stuff about Fortran and Algol"
Actually, I really liked Fortran 77 - I wrote a simulator for the Intel 8080 CPU in it, complete with assembler, disassembler and debugger. That was on a DecSystem10, but porting it to VAX (VMS) and IBM 4381 (VM/CMS) took me less than a day.
I still hanker after writing a bit of Fortran - but I don't really do programming any more.
Algol, I couldn't stand - I was handed some Algol code from the Dec when we were getting rid of it, which was supposed to drive a typesetter - good luck in porting that!
