ALGOL W
ALGOL W is a programming language created in 1966. ALGOL W is a programming language. It is based on a proposal for ALGOL X by Niklaus Wirth and Tony Hoare as a successor to ALGOL 60 in IFIP Working Group 2.1. When the committee decided that the proposal was not a sufficient advance over ALGOL 60, the proposal was published as A contribution to the development of ALGOL. Read more on Wikipedia...

Example code from Wikipedia:
RECORD PERSON (
STRING(20) NAME;
INTEGER AGE;
LOGICAL MALE;
REFERENCE(PERSON) FATHER, MOTHER, YOUNGESTOFFSPRING, ELDERSIBLING
);
REFERENCE(PERSON) PROCEDURE YOUNGESTUNCLE (REFERENCE(PERSON) R);
BEGIN
REFERENCE(PERSON) P, M;
P := YOUNGESTOFFSPRING(FATHER(FATHER(R)));
WHILE (P ¬= NULL) AND (¬ MALE(P)) OR (P = FATHER(R)) DO
P := ELDERSIBLING(P);
M := YOUNGESTOFFSPRING(MOTHER(MOTHER(R)));
WHILE (M ¬= NULL) AND (¬ MALE(M)) DO
M := ELDERSIBLING(M);
IF P = NULL THEN
M
ELSE IF M = NULL THEN
P
ELSE
IF AGE(P) < AGE(M) THEN P ELSE M
END
