for the Swiss mathematician Leonhard Euler (1707-1783)
Generalisation of ALGOL 60 with defined transput. Significant in being (along with Algol W) a precursor of Pascal.

Niklaus Wirth and Helmut Weber Stanford 1965

In the computing pioneers seminar at Berkeley, Wirth candidly suggests that although creating this was the reason he came to Stanford, many of these ideas were "wrong". He does not elaborate how - the result is left to the listener. Judgng from the acknowledgements in the 1964 article (where he pays credit to Wijngarden for greater insight and generality) it was the details that pointed to Algol 68.

According to the Appendix and Acnowledgements, the initial system was written in NELIAC and used a polish notation string compiler.
