Today, you'd need to look into esoteric languages to find such a variety of different approaches... back then, this was rather mainstream, wasn't it? | |

Added explanation of polymorphic construct

| May 9, 2015 at 22:43 | comment | added | Brian Tompsett - 汤莱恩 | I was so looking forward to the Languages of the '60s and was ready with BCPL, Simula, CORAL66, Fortran 66, PL/1, SNOBOL4, POP-1 and a whole raft more, only to discover that the rules are that I have to wait 5 years of languages... A least there is a rich furrow for someone else to plough. | |

Updated to properly show concrete stropping modes
