ALGOL N
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ALGOL N (N for Nippon – Japan in Japanese) is the name of a successor programming language to ALGOL 60,[1][2] designed in Japan with the goal of being as simple as ALGOL 60 but as powerful as ALGOL 68. The language was proposed by Nobuo Yoneda. ALGOL N tried to use extensibility to solve the problem that language designers faced when trying to make an inextensible language for all domains, or having to make many domain-specific languages (DSLs), one for each domain. It avoided type conversion (coercion) while not making things more difficult for programmers.
