Abstract

The co-author of ALGOL 60 Implementation, always known as Randell and Russell, muses on the origins of Whetstone ALGOL for the KDF9 and its influence. Whetstone ALGOL was inspired by a week-long school at Brighton Technical College at which Edsger Dijkstra and Peter Naur seem to have cast a spell over everybody present.
