Barry James Mailloux (1940? โ 26 May 1982) obtained his Master of Science (M.Sc.) in numerical analysis in 1963. From 1966, he studied at Amsterdam's Mathematisch Centrum under Adriaan van Wijngaarden, earning a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in 1968.[1][2][3][4]
He was the "first et al editor" of the original Report on the Algorithmic Language ALGOL 68, and the Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language ALGOL 68.[5]
He was a member of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) IFIP Working Group 2.1,[6] which specified, maintains, and supports the programming languages ALGOL 60 and ALGOL 68.[7]
In 1968, he returned to the University of Alberta as an assistant professor in the Department of Computing Science. His work on ALGOL 68 made the university a world center for ALGOL 68-related activity.
Mailloux's student Chris Thomson and friend Colin Broughton established Chion Corporation, which produced the Full Language Algol 68 Checkout Compiler (
