ALGOL 68 was a successor to ALGOL 60, designed with the goal of wider scope and more rigorously defined syntax and semantics. Despite its complexity, it found use in niche markets and had deep, wide-ranging and enduring contributions to computer science. Many languages of the 1970s were developed as a response to ALGOL 68, including C and Pascal, which have influenced many modern languages.
