{{wikipedia}}{{implementation|ALGOL 68}}{{stub}}ALGOL 68R from [[wp:Royal_Radar_Establishment|RRE]] was the first [[ALGOL 68]] subset implementation, running on the [[wp:ICL_1900|ICL 1900]].
Based on the original language, the main subset restrictions were ''definition before use'' and no parallel processing.
This compiler was popular in [[wp:United_Kingdom|UK]] universities in the 1970s, where many [[wp:computer_science|computer science]] students learnt [[ALGOL 68]] as their first programming language; the compiler was renowned for good error messages.
