Synopsis

To construct a compiler for a modern higher-level programming languagel one needs to structure the translation to a machine-like intermediate language in a way that reflects the semantics of the language. 2 Types and Syntax An ALGOL-like language is a typed lambda calculus with an unusual repertoire of primitive types.

From the Back Cover

In recent years there has been a remarkable convergence of interest in programming languages based on Algol 60. Researchers interested in the theory of procedural and object-oriented languages discovered that Algol 60 shows how to add procedures and object classes to simple imperative languages in a general and clean way.Volume 1 contains an Introduction, historical and foundational material, and works on language design; all of this material should be accessible to beginning graduate students in programming languages and theoretical computer science.
