Did someone actually vote for Algol? Hard to believe in 2021. Or, maybe the vote count started at 1 and nobody actually chose it.

If someone here really does use Algol as their go-to language, I'd like to hear why.

Lots of people on HN are hobbyists (not employed in software), retired, or both. I'm not surprised to see Algol here.

Votes start at 1. (For the options, they are probably just reusing the code for comments, that start with 1 point.)
