I've played with quite a few languages and have rarely had as much as 
with Algol68, just to get the basics right.

You should never need to get deep into a reference document or textbook 
just to get started.

It also doesn't help that when you end up with what apparently works, it 
works for the wrong reasons.

As for looking things up, where? There IS NO straightforward document. 
You can't get away from the language's complexities. There isn't even a 
proper cheatsheet.

It's now just a mildly interesting dinosaur of a language.
