ALGOL N(NforNippon– Japan inJapanese) is the name of a successorprogramming languagetoALGOL 60,[1][2]designed inJapanwith the goal of being as simple as ALGOL 60 but as powerful asALGOL 68.The language was proposed byNobuo Yoneda.ALGOL N tried to useextensibilityto solve the problem that language designers faced when trying to make an inextensible language for all domains, or having to make manydomain-specific languages(DSLs), one for each domain. It avoidedtype conversion(coercion) while not making things more difficult for programmers.
