  ALGOL - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
ALGOL (short for ALGOrithmic Language) is a programming language originally developed in the mid 1950s which became the de facto standard way to report algorithms in print for almost the next 30 years.
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 was defined using a two-level grammar formalism invented by Adriaan van Wijngaarden and which bears his name.

 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 inspired many languages that followed it; C.A.R. Hoare's original quote on this is recalled in the aphorism: "ALGOL 60 was a great improvement on its successors." (This is sometimes erroneously attributed to Edsger Dijkstra, also known for his pointed comments, who helped to implement an early ALGOL 60 compiler.)
ALGOL 60 as officially defined had no I/O facilities; implementations defined their own in ways that were rarely compatible with each other.

Algol-W was intended to be the next generation ALGOL, but the majority of the ALGOL 68 committee decided to design a language that was more complex and advanced rather than a language that is basically a cleaned up version of ALGOL 60.
ALGOL 68 was defined using a two-level grammar formalism invented by Adriaan van Wijngaarden and which bears algol his name.

 pidgin - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about pidgin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Usually a pidgin language is a rough blend of the vocabulary of one (often dominant) language with the syntax or grammar of one or more other (often dependent) groups.
Pidgin English in various parts of the world, français petit negre, and Bazaar Hindi or Hindustani are examples of pidgins that have served long-term purposes to the extent of being acquired by children as one of their everyday languages.
Generally, a pidgin language comes into existence to answer short-term needs – for example, the Korean Bamboo English used during the Korean War.

 RON THE "WAR HERO" - "Mister Roberts" and the USS Algol
Algol, as an attack cargo ship, was expected to operate close inshore to support amphibious landings - and so would not only be right in the action, but as a high-value, lightly-armed vessel, would be a prime target for enemy attacks.
Algol's shakedown concluded on September 3, 1944 and she put into Oakland, CA to load cargo for transport to Saipan, scene of the recent bloody battle.
Algol left for Saipan on 3 October 1944, serving in the western Pacific for the next three years.

Variants of all of these are still in general use, and importantly, each has strongly influenced the development of later languages.
At the end of the 1950s, the language formalized as Algol 60 was introduced, and most modern programming languages are, in many respects, descendents of Algol.
In the 1960s, Simula was the first language designed to support object-oriented programming; in the mid-1970s, Smalltalk followed with the first "purely" object-oriented language.

ALGOL 58 was originally known as the IAL (for International Algorithmic Language.) Note: throughout its effective life, the name of the programming language ALGOL was always presented in all-uppercase letters, and this is the practice we've adopted here.
It is sometimes erroneously attributed to Edsger Dijkstra, also known for his pointed comments, who helped to implement the first ALGOL 60 compiler.

A similar phenomenon has happened in Computer Science literature: a kind of pidgin ALGOL has developed there, from the need of authors to address a broad audience without having to explain over and over the meaning of all notations employed.
This pidgin ALGOL is a language, although it is not frozen, let alone formalized.
One may (and I do) take the position, thus mitigating the grimness of the situation sketched in the previous section, that pidgin ALGOL covers to some extent the need for an algorithmic language.

 Pseudocode info here at en.crankcalls.info   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
As the name suggests, pseudocode generally does not actually use the syntax of any particular language; there is no systematic standard form, although any particular writer will generally borrow the appearance of a particular language.
Popular sources include PASCAL, C, Lisp, and ALGOL.
Details not relevant to the algorithm (such as memory management code) are usually omitted, and the programming language will be augmented with natural language where convenient (for example, for trivial operations such as swapping two variables).
