I've posted it to the Sugs'n'bugs forum for Chris to have look at.
Thanks!

it's even teached on university these days.
Very challenging, a completely different approach with very different technologies used (shaders for instance, you can't even do a for loop with varying iterations, you must know beforehand - through constants - how often the loop shall run, this is due to the parallelism on the gpu)
i do this now for several years and did not have a single boring day since then. that's where i belong.

Phone app programming for Android (or using a multiplatform framework - I really don't care about Iphone, but if an app can be run on Android AND Iphone, I could consider supporting it).
Only thing is that I really don't have the time, and I don't have any use for it either.
But I'm surprised it wasn't on the list considering how attached people are to their phone nowadays...

I did Android development for a living for six years.
It's an interesting framework, Java and Android Studio are a very cool environment (for mobile dev), but tbh, since I left, i didn't miss it a single day.

Not even 'Other'?

Together with the 'Other' alternative, that should rather be 'None at all'

Yeah, that comes close

I would like to know more about F# and C# Reactive programming model. Reactive concepts can also be used in rxjs (as ex. in Angular). ReactiveUI for example is a great library to handle complex UIs in C# scope (WinForms, WPF, etc but also mobile).

The main thing I would like to learn more about is efficient/advance multi-processor use. Specifically scalable scheduling/synchronising & inter-processor communications.

Thanks - I will pick them up, and read them, just for fun.
But then: Algol 68 is a completely different animal from Algol 60! Algol 68 was like a sophisticated experimental language for academic playfulness. E.g. syntactical tokens were abstract, and could be mapped onto a somewhat arbitrary set of concrete symbols. There was an all-German Algol 68 compiler.
When did ragged arrays make it into the mainflow of programming languages? In Algol 68, each row of an array could have a different number of columns from the other rows; each column could have a different number of rows.
Algol60 had nothing of that; it was a 'structured programming' version of Fortran functionality, more or less, although with a few (essential) extensions.
Admittedly, Algol60 is slightly boring for me and others who grew up with the original Pascal (which is little more than a brushed-up Algol60). I guess it will be a much greater delight to pick up for a nostalgic re-study the playfulness and creativity of Algol68!

For years, I have maintained a document called 'Lost Pearls', where I jot down stuff about programming languages and other computer areas (communication protocols not the least!) offering functions/facilities that have later been abandoned, for reasons I do not understand. Often, there is no good reason, except that market forces - not only economic ones - squeezed them out in favor of something else.
Or, the time wasn't ready for those ideas. Today, time may have been ready for years, so we could have picked up the old ideas and put them to use. But no one remembers those lost pearls. Sometimes, when you bring up the old ideas, people argue: We've got that! Just look at so-and-so! ... And they put on the table a terrible cludge, a mess totally void of cleanness and elegance of the 30-40 year old abandoned solution.
I was studying Algol68 log before I started writing 'Lost Pearls', so little or nothing of Algol68 is included. From what I remember of Algol68 studies in my student days, there is probably a lot that deserves a place. Algol68 was definitely ahead of its time. Even though it probably would be fairly easy to write a full compiler for it today, I am not saying that we should start programming in the language. What we should do is to learn what we threw away, or gave up, and consider how we could use those ideas and concepts with the tools we have got today.
