- int_19h 2y agoReading the ALGOL 68 spec[1] today, it feels like complexity is mainly about the unusual verbiage used (which, as I understand, was equally unusual at the time, being introduced specifically for it). The language itself is pretty mundane by modern standards. [1] http://www.math.bas.bg/bantchev/place/algol68/a68rr.html http://www.math.bas.bg/bantchev/place/algol68/a68rr.html
