| Has anyone, like, encountered this one: https://esolangs.org/wiki/VALGOL

A bit dated.  But not the first language with this name.  Val Schorre
created a VALGOL to test the META II compiler compiler in 1963.
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/META_II>

I never used Meta II, but some interesting people have been interested
in it.  There's a version or two on github.

"The paper itself is a wonderful gem which includes a number of
excellent examples, including the bootstrapping of Meta II in itself
(all this was done on an 8K (six bit byte) 1401!)." - Alan
Kay
