have just been reading 'The Turing programming Language' in Communications of the ACM of Dec. 1988. At first I was enthousiatic because it has a number of things I line, such as dynamic arrays, nice strings, etc. But then look at the syntax. This is one hell of a mess. I especially hate the very ugly loop statement. And what about the cumbersome linked list example on page 1415. I wonder of Alan Turing likes it. Mart van Stiphout. mart@euteal.eutrc3.hp4nl
