I am a fan of Algol68 in its complete implementation. I feel this language
adresses a lot of important language contructs which have been left half-
baked in a lot of languages. Extensions to Algol68 such as enum types and
better tasking are well within the reports scope (2.1.1 I think?) and I feel
the language is the right base to do work in many areas. Does anyone know
of implementations that run under UNIX? I see the EEC has adopted UNIX as
the standard os for the future so ICL can't be far from porting it. Who
out there uses/used the language and how are you moved?
