Actually, Algol 60 lived on (and lives on, though not so much used now outside of Scandinavia) in an improved and OOP-extended form in Simula 67 (now just Simula). Most implementations excpt that for DEC-System10 were, however, overpriced and poorly marketed, so we had to wait for C++ (improved and OOP-extended C) for OOP to catch on. === 8< === -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
