Algo was a great programming language -- as long as your program
didn't have to du any input or any output.  Not having to actually
implement your program was also a clear advantage, considering the
scarcity of Algol compilers.... therefore, Algol was for a long time
used in textbooks as examples of implementing various algorithms.
