   Can you give any examples of situations where it might be reasonable to   
   choose Algol 68 as a language /today/ for a piece of code, rather than a   
   more mainstream language (C, Python, Java, Pascal, Visual Basic,   
   whatever) ?  If such situations are very rare or non-existent, then I do   
   not see it as a useful language.   
      
   But I think we are mostly disagreeing about what we consider the term   
   "useful programming language" to mean.
