Wasn't Dijkstra one of the guys behind Algol 68? Yes, the one where some Geek test asks if you've read the revised report? ... and did you understand it? (I did, even found a bug in the library chapter (a simple case of exporting a pointer to local storage), but boy was that the hardest-to-understand language definition I've ever seen! Did complete symbol definition-and-usage checks purely in the (context-dependant meta-)grammar.)
