Some interesting insight into the development of early Algol 60 compilers and why writing compilers was comparatively harder back then.

CW: Rosetta Code: NEW TASK!!!!!!!!!
I just added a task to #RosettaCode, so have at it!
Bernstein basis polynomials - Rosetta Code https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Bernstein_basis_polynomials

More #Algol60 code for me:
Long multiplication - Rosetta Code https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Long_multiplication#ALGOL_60
It’s a little tough because there is so little specified for the language. They only added I/O as an afterthought, in 1972. But a person could probably take this language and make something better from it than we are used to.

I have added a #Gentoo ebuild for an #Algol60 compiler: https://bitbucket.org/chemoelectric/chemoelectric-overlay/src/master/dev-lang/marst/
