    Yes, lots of FORTRAN (several dialects), starting in 1964. From a "Programming Languages Survey" course, ca 1980:

    IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.
    ...
    THIS IS THE SECOND COBOL PROGRAM I HAVE WRITTEN.
    I SINCERELY HOPE IT IS THE LAST.

    So far, my hope has been realised. Cheers, Peter

              Pascal is sort of Algol Mark II. As is Simula - or maybe that is Mark III. At least if you ask someone from University of Oslo. (I have programmed both Algol 60, Pascal and Simula - but not Algol 68, that is a strange animal! Or at least it seemed so in the 60s)

                    Don't let your mind wander too far. It's too small to be let out alone.

                      Ok, then how about using a youngling like FORTH?

                      I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
