[net.music.classical] Bach and Algol 60

ark@alice.UUCP (Andrew Koenig) (05/07/85)

In "A Discipline of Programming," Dijkstra mentions that
Algol 60 was not only an improvement on all of its predecessors,
but on most of its successors as well.


It just occurred to me that J. S. Bach plays much the
same role in music as Algol 60 does in programming languages.
