 have just been reading 'The Turing programming Language'
 in Communications of the ACM of Dec. 1988.
 At first I was enthousiatic because it has a number of things
 I line, such as dynamic arrays, nice strings, etc.
 But then look at the syntax. This is one hell of a mess.
 I especially hate the very ugly loop statement.
 And what about the cumbersome linked list example on
 page 1415.
 I wonder of Alan Turing likes it.
