The best sources for information regarding the programming language ALGOL are textbooks which outline the history of the language. These books will also give details on why ALGOL is now looked at as a building block upon which many other languages were created.

The result was ALGOL (ALGOrithmic Language) 58, a more general form of FORTRAN, and the first language designed to be machine independent. The next revision, ALGOL 60, introduced block structure and scope, pass-by-value, and pass-by-name.

It is the youngest member of the Algol family of languages. Algol, defined in 1960, was the first high-level language with a readable, structured, and systematically defined syntax. While successful as a notation for mathematical algorithms, it lacked important data types, such as pointers or characters.

Pascal grew out of ALGOL, a programming language intended for scientific computing. Meeting in Zurich, an international committee designed ALGOL as a platform-independent language. This gave them comparatively free rein in the features they could design into ALGOL, but also made it more difficult to write compilers for it.
