The Algol 68 Genie project
The development of Algol played an important role in establishing computer science as an academic discipline. The Algol 68 Genie project preserves and promotes Algol 68 out of educational as well as scientific-historical interest, by making available a recent checkout compiler-interpreter written from scratch by Marcel van der Veer, together with extensive documentation for both the language and this new implementation.
Algol 68 Genie is free software distributed under the GNU General Public License; it is a fast compiler-interpreter which ranks among the most complete implementations of the language.
You can download the current version here. The distribution lets you build Algol 68 Genie from source code on Linux or related operating systems. For Microsoft Windows 10 a WIN32 executable a68g.exe is provided that must be run using the Windows command line interpreter cmd.exe.
You can download the manual for the current version here. The extensive manual consists of detailed installation instructions, a comprehensive guide to programming in Algol 68, and the Revised Report on Algol 68.
Please send comments and bug reports to [email protected]; your feedback will be appreciated.
Precompiled binaries for major distributions can be found here:
An important repository is the Algol 68 project on SourceForge that also describes other open source Algol 68 implementations.
You can download earlier distributions here.

Being the author of Algol 68 Genie, people frequently ask me why a physical chemist wrote an Algol 68 compiler. This is an understandable question since people associate Algol 68 with the learned group of mathematicians and computer scientists that conceived the language some fifty years ago and people recall the reputation it had of being a hard to implement language. In this post I would like to give an account of how Algol 68 Genie came to be … [Read more] Published in category Algol 68 |
