In the June 1966 CACM [1], Wirth and Hoare published "A contribution to the development of ALGOL”, which describes a language very similar to Algol W. In Wirth’s Turing Award lecture (published in the Feb 1985 CACM [2]) "From programming language design to computer construction”, he noted: “The Working Group assumed the task of proposing a successor and soon split into two camps. On one side were the ambitious who wanted to erect another milestone in language design, and, on the other, those who felt that time was pressing and that an adequately extended ALGOL 60 would be a productive endeavor. I belonged to this second party and submitted a proposal that lost the election. Thereafter, the proposal was improved with contributions from Tony Hoare (a member of the same group) and implemented on Stanford University's first IBM 360. The language later became known as ALGOL W and was used in several universities for teaching purposes.” In particular, Hoare’s work on “Record Handling” (see [3]) had a strong impact on Algol W and Wirth’s later languages.
