Re: The History of the ALGOL Effort

think that's the name) ... it was PL360-ish, but with more of an
Algol-68 flavour, and - if I recall correctly - would have been a worthy
competitor to C++. I think it was written up in SIGPLAN Notices in the
70s, but I've long ago lost my old journals.

Norwegian alternative to revised Algol68? No operator precedence,
assignments went left-to-right

January 1973 SIGPLAN notices.
