This is a great article, read a lot about Smalltalk in David West's book Object Thinking which I believe is a must read. I'm really pleased to discover you can still run it, will give it a go!
Also Algol is interesting because supposedly it was inspired by Plankalkül, created by Konrad Zuse and regarded as the first high-level programming language.

Thanks @history_dev Smalltalk is pretty cool, you're going to like it -;)
And yes...I think it was inspired by Plankalkül....I tried to learn it but couldn't find a compiler...or tutorial...and it also looks too weird -:P
Smalltalk is very declarative and not so procedural.
The example you put on the article is not very fair to the language
My fault 😔 Haven’t dig too deep on Smalltalk…but at least it compiles and works 🤓
