Algol 48(ID:5841/alg026)

McCarthy's putative theorised Algol 50 precursor 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1998
Genus: True Algol58s
Sammet category: Numerical Scientific

Paper language created by McCarthy as an introduction to ideas in Elephant 2000, conceived of as the precursor to Algol 50 ( as Algol 58 stood to Algol 60)

"These are the explicit use of time in a programming language and the representation of the program by logical sentences. The former permits a direct expression of the operational semantics of the language, and the latter permits proofs of properties of programs without any special theory of programming."
