I prefer Simula 67 ;-)
Modula-2 happened way before my time but was quite taken by it. Especially it's fibres/coroutine features.

Yeah, that Algol code is not very pretty :-). I'm sticking with my namesake from 1980...
One thing I always liked about some older languages was being able to have blanks in identifiers. Although I see that they actually managed to invent a new stropping variant that doesn't work with that… For the "kids"…
