I attempted the last Advent of Code in Algol 68 using a68g. I didn't quite finish it, but I think this is probably one of the larger repositories of Algol 68 source code out there :D<p><a href="https://github.com/addrummond/aoc_2021_algol68" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/addrummond/aoc_2021_algol68</a>
Algol 68 is interesting if only for some of the things written in it, particularly in the UK that I know of, e.g. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALGOL_68#Examples_of_use" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALGOL_68#Examples_of_use</a>
The idea of using Algol 68 was also quite popular in the Soviet academic circles (loosely tied with the military-industrial complex) throughout the 1970-80s. Right before this interest had expired Algol 68 was seen as a direct competitor to Ada. (After that C became all the rage.)<p><a href="https://www.computer-museum.ru/english/algol68.htm" rel="nofollow">https://www.computer-museum.ru/english/algol68.htm</a>
Now we need a VSCode plugin, although there is a basic one for Algol 60.<p><a href="https://github.com/PolariTOON/language-algol60" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/PolariTOON/language-algol60</a>
After reading the first … I found I am more interested in the author’s other page : <a href="https://jmvdveer.home.xs4all.nl/en.post.mainframe-virtualisation.html" rel="nofollow">https://jmvdveer.home.xs4all.nl/en.post.mainframe-virtualisa...</a>. Algol 68 … in 1970s still have a bit of interest but not in 2022. Thanks. Move on.
