XTRAN(ID:2630/xtr001)

Interactive extensible dialect of FORTRAN 

alternate simple view
Country: United States
Designed 1958
Genus: Fortran I-III Variants
Sammet category: Numerical Scientific

for eXtensible forTRAN

Interactive extensible dialect of FORTRAN, which evolved over time into an interactive extensible dialect of ALGOL!

Bob Bemer IBM 1958 (extensible FORTRAN)
Green, Julien et al, Applied Programming Systems, IBM White PLains NY 1959 (Extensible ALGOL)


Influential (according to Bemer) on IAL

But obviously then became influenced by IAL and Algol 60 (which only goes to show you how family trees don't work for the history of ideas)
