Modula-2 is a computer programming language invented by Niklaus Wirth at ETH, around 1978, as a successor to his intermediate language Modula. Modula-2 was implemented in 1980 for the Lilith computer, which was commercialized in 1982 by startup company DISER (Data Image Sound Processor and Emitter Receiver System) as MC1 and MC2. DISER sold 120 units worldwide. The Modula-2 language was understood by Niklaus Wirth as a successor to his programmin...

CGOL
CGOL (pronounced "see goll") is an alternative syntax for the MACLISP programming language, featuring an extensible algebraic notation. It was created by Vaughan Pratt. The notation of CGOL is a traditional algebraic notation (sometimes called "infix syntax"), in the style of ALGOL, rather than... -
Modula-3
In Computer science, Modula-3 is a programming language conceived as a successor to an upgraded version of Modula-2. While it has been influential in research circles (influencing the designs of languages such as Java, C#, and Python) it has not been adopted widely in industry. It was designed by... -
Modula-2+
The Modula-2+ programming language is a descendant of the Modula-2 programming language. It was developed at DEC Systems Research Center (SRC) in Palo Alto, California. Modula-2+ is Modula-2 with exceptions and threads. The group who developed the language was led by P. Rovner in 1984. Main... -
ALGOL
ALGOL (short for ALGOrithmic Language) is a family of imperative computer programming languages originally developed in the mid 1950s which greatly influenced many other languages and became the de facto way algorithms were described in textbooks and academic works for almost the next 30 years. It... -
CLU
CLU is a programming language created at MIT by Barbara Liskov and her students between 1974 and 1975. It was notable for its use of constructors for abstract data types that included the code that operated on them, a key step in the direction of object-oriented programming (OOP). However many of... -
Euclid programming language
Euclid is an imperative programming language for writing verifiable programs. It was designed by Butler Lampson and associates at the Xerox PARC lab in the mid 1970s. The implementation was led by Ric Holt at the University of Toronto and James Cordy was the principal programmer for the first...
