We dubbed our work ALGOL 30, since it was for the LGP-30 (Kurtz, 1962a, Feb., 1962b, Mar.). From this project emerged a small group of undergraduate students who were well equipped to perform further work in the development of computer languages. For instance, one student (Garland) discovered that compound statements and blocks could be included in the Samelson and Bauer scanning algorithm. This simple fact was not published until some years later. (I have been unable to identify the source I clearly remember; the closest is Gries, 1968.) "The ALGOL 30 system suffered one defect that hindered its wide use as a studentoriented language: it was a two-pass system. The intermediate code was similar to relocatable binary, but had to be punched onto paper tape. Compilations could be "batched," but the delays between presenting the source code tape and the final execution were too great to allow widespread student use. It was clear that a "load-and-go" system was needed. Thus was bom SCALP, a Self Contained ALgol Processor (Kurtz, 1962c, Oct.)." (Kurz 1978) Structures: Related languages
