Mary

An extensible, machine-oriented superset of ALGOL68 developed by Mark Rain.

Mary is maintained (and used) by Kvatro Telecom AS. Although dated, it still offers a nice strongly typed 3GL with macros but without most of C's flaws.

It runs on SPARC and x86 computers.

Hidden on the back cover of the manual: MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB - COERCION IMPOSSIBLE.
