Algol W

Algol-W was Niklaus Wirth's proposal for a successor to Algol 60 in the Algol 68 committee. It is clearly an intermediary language between Algol 60 and Pascal (also created by Wirth), and was a relative conservative modification of Algol 60. Like the rest of Niklaus Wirth's languages (including Pascal, Modula-2 and Oberon), Algol-W is a small, statically typed language. The language that eventually became Algol 68 is much larger and more complex than Algol-W, and is more dissimilar to Algol 60 than Algol-W is.
