Alcool-90(ID:6051/alc004)OO metalanguagefrom the French for "90 proof Alchohol", but homophonous with "Algol" hence pun (see infra). First release written using the CENTAUR system from the history page "First, the origin of the name Alcool90: alcool is the french word for alcohol, and Alcool 90 means pure alcohol. The proper pronouciation is al-coal, not al-cool A first version of the language was written in the Centaur system in 1990. This version was only an interpreter. Upon the availability of Caml Light, a new compiler was written in 1991, and is available for experimentation. This version is essentially an Alcool 90 front-end with a Caml Light 0.4 back-end.
