My father was a programmer on the BESM-series computers back in the 80s, particularly BESM-6. Him and a few former friends/colleagues maintain a site about it:

  The stuff at https://github.com/besm6 https://github.com/besm6 is great! Being much later, the programs are substantial, but it gives a better sense than the simplified examples like https://github.com/xldenis/besm/blob/master/examples/chapter1.pp https://github.com/xldenis/besm/blob/master/examples/chapter... .

    Indeed, I only provided direct translations of the programs Ershov and Knuth wrote, I never did much in the way work beyond that, my focus was mainly on recreating the compiler itself. For that I actually copied the pages of the book into the the comments of the code: https://github.com/xldenis/besm/blob/master/compile-pp/src/Besm/PP2/Loop.hs#L80-L141 https://github.com/xldenis/besm/blob/master/compile-pp/src/B...

      Ahh, I hadn't found that one! That's a great example, thanks for highlighting it.
