Restrictions in The Language Compiled
| “ | It is a question of morality. We have a Bible and you are sinning! -- Mailloux |

In order to allow one pass compilation ALGOL 68-R implemented a sub-set of the language defined in the original report:
- Identifiers, modes and operators must be specified before use.
- No automatic proceduring.
- Explicit void mode.
- No formal declarers.
- No parallel processing.
- goto may not be omitted.
- Uniting is only valid in strong positions.
Many of these restrictions were adopted by the revised report on ALGOL 68.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
—Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)
