  Pascal programming language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pascal is an imperative computer programming language, developed in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth as a language particularly suitable for structured programming.
Pascal is based on the Algol programming language and named in honor of mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal.
Initially, Pascal was a language intended to teach students structured programming, and generations of students have "cut their teeth" on Pascal as an introductory language in undergraduate courses.

 ALGOL - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ALGOL (short for ALGOrithmic Language) is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in the mid 1950s which became the de facto standard way to report algorithms in print for almost the next 30 years.
ALGOL 60 allowed for two types of parameter passing: the common call-by-value, and the unique call-by-name, which has never again been adopted by any of its successor languages.
ALGOL 68 was defined using a two-level grammar formalism invented by Adriaan van Wijngaarden and which bears his name.

Hoare's "ALGOL was a great improvement on its successors." The full quote is "Here is a language so far ahead of its time, that it was not only an improvement on its predecessors, but also on nearly all its successors", but the aphoristic version is far better known.
ALGOL 68 perhaps went overboard with its I/O (or "transput") facilities in reaction.
ALGOL 60 allowed for two types of parameter passing: call-by-value, and the innovation of call-by-name, which was later abandoned by its successor languages.

ALGOL was the first second-generation programming language and its characteristics are typical of the entire generation.
Overall, ALGOL is considered to be perhaps the most orthogonal programming language, meaning it has a relatively small number of basic constructs and a set of rules for combining those constructs.
ALGOL was used mostly by research computer scientists in the United States and in Europe.

 Algol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
ALGOL is also a computer programming language; see ALGOL programming language.
The variability of Algol was first recorded in 1670 by Montanari, but it is probable that this property was noticed long before this time; the name Algol means "demon star," (from Arabic al ghûl, "the ghoul") which was probably given due to its peculiar behavior.
Astrologically, Algol was considered the most unfortunate star in the sky.

 Chistory
The C programming language was devised in the early 1970s as a system implementation language for the nascent Unix operating system.
Within procedures, the language's interpretation of the pointers was identical to that of the array variables: a pointer declaration created a cell differing from an array declaration only in that the programmer was expected to assign a referent, instead of letting the compiler allocate the space and initialize the cell.
The language changes during this period, especially around 1977, were largely focused on considerations of portability and type safety, in an effort to cope with the problems we foresaw and observed in moving a considerable body of code to the new Interdata platform.

 Why Pascal is Not My Favorite Programming Language   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Pascal was originally intended primarily as a teaching language, but it has been more and more often recommended as a language for serious programming as well, for example, for system programming tasks and even operating systems.
Turning to the negative side, recompiling a large program from scratch to change a single line of source is extremely tiresome; separate compilation, with or without type checking, is mandatory for large programs.
The one-pass nature of the language forces procedures and functions to be presented in an unnatural order; the enforced separation of various declarations scatters program components that logically belong together.

 Pidgin Algol
In computer science, Pidgin Algol refers to an informal notation that blends syntax taken from an ALGOL-like programming language with some other mathematical notation, such as that of set theory.
Hence the name: the mixture is a programming language analogy to a pidgin in natural languages.
It is used to describe algorithms where control structure is made explicit at a rather high level of detail, while some data structures are still left at an abstract level, independent of any specific programming language.
