Does ALGOL68 support call-by-name, like ALGOL60?
Not directly. But you can pass procedures as arguments (ALGOL 60 allows that, too), which
lets you achieve the effect of call by name.
Algol68-RS? That's not familiar. I don't remember Algol 68 from DEC. Could it
have been done by some university? "RS" doesn't suggest anything in
particular.
I know that CMU did an Algol 68 implementation, but that was for the PDP11. I once had
DECtapes with the run time library sources on it, but those have been lost. There was a
research group in the UK that was known for its Algol 68 work -- Royal Radar
Establishment, perhaps? And implementations were done for various machines in a number of
places, mostly in Europe. At least one (for the CDC 6000 series) was turned into a
company product.
