There is a lot more to Simula. I was a student at University of Oslo at the time it was still mandatory in intro classes. A fellow student was the son of one of the people who wrote a compiler for Simula. He knew about all sorts of little documented features. Some gave precise control when a "simulation was executed". Thinking back, it makes me think of RTOS like features. Now Simula was never the fastest language, and these did not offer guarantees that any real time system would but they were cool. It was fun when you used language features that the teachers had never seen before.
