Euler is a programming language created by Niklaus Wirth and Helmut Weber, conceived as an extension and generalization of ALGOL 60.[1][2][3] The designers' goals were to create a language that is:
- Simpler, yet more flexible, than ALGOL 60
- Useful and processed with reasonable efficiency
- Definable with rigorous formality
Available sources indicate that Euler was operational by 1965.
