:# Without exception, the following languages were found by the evaluators to be inappropriate to serve as base languages for a development of the common language: [[FORTRAN]], [[COBOL]], [[TACPOL]], [[CMS-2]], [[JOVIAL]] J-73, JOVIAL J-3B, [[SIMULA]] 67, [[ALGOL 60]], and [[CORAL 66]].
:# Proposals should be solicited from appropriate language designers for modification efforts using any of the languages, [[Pascal programming language|Pascal]], [[PL/I]], or [[ALGOL 68]] as a base language from which to start. These efforts should be directed toward the production of a language that satisfied the DoD set of language requirements for embedded computer applications.
:Ada - DoD HOLWG, [[William A. Whitaker|Col Wm Whitaker]], 1993
I don't know what the complete list of functionality originally from ALGOL 68 is. Maybe concurrency, operators, overloading & strong typing. These were mostly missing from [[ALGOL 60]]. So I changed the "Influenced by:" to refer to ALGOL 68 directly.
