Elliott ALGOL
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Elliott ALGOL is a compiler for the programming language ALGOL 60, for the Elliott 803 computer made by Elliott Brothers in the United Kingdom. It was implemented by Tony Hoare and others.[1] It differed slightly from the reference version of ALGOL, particularly in the supported character set.[2] First released in February 1962, it is believed to be the first implementation of an ALGOL 60 compiler in a commercial context and was an unexpectedly popular product for the company.[3]
