Excellent article. It pleases me that an important language that turned out not to be very widely used is nevertheless remembered by some -- if not by the creators of Go, who were apparently doomed to reinvent Algol 68 badly. I'm also reminded of C.A.R. Hoare's famous quip about Algol 60: "Here is a language so far ahead of its time, that it was not only an improvement on its predecessors, but also on nearly all its successors."
