You still don't get it.

Everyone knows that. But your point is irrelevant. The question was whether or not it was written in Algol first. And CLEARLY they weren't.

As you don't know, stop making stupid ripostes.

Neither of you clowns are lying; both of you are incompetent readers of ordinary English prose. The statement in question is ambiguous; it can be read as "Some Important numerical libraries were first implemented in ALgol" or "All Important numerical libraries were first implemented in ALgol". He's using the former reading, you the latter. Aren't you a bit old to be playing such silly games?
