I don't see why. LISP is just a year younger and COBOL is 2 years younger. And Algol, spawned a year after FORTRAN, is no longer used as such (although there is now GCC support for Algol 68) but spawned many "Algol-like" languages, including most of the languages used today ... and even modern Fortran can be considered "Algol-like", having evolved to include its block structure. FWIW, I started programming in 1965, in FORTRAN II. | ||

Pascal and ADA are the direct successor of Algol 60(forgot the year of the first simpler dialect) and 68. Algol, Pascal, Oberon, Simula, ADA, Julia (afik) | ||
