Today, 67 years ago, on July 3, 1958 (Calendar, May 17, 1958), ALGOL was founded. On July 3, 1958, the American ACM team created a brand new language, followed by a committee of European business and academic computer scientists meeting in Zurich, Switzerland, to explore how to improve FORTRAN and design a standardized computer language. In 1960, the committee, based on the design of the American ACM group in 1958, defined a new language version, the international algebraic language ALGOL60, which first introduced the concept of local variables and regression. ALGOL language has not been widely used, but it has evolved into the basis of other programming languages.
