>"ALGOL 58 had introduced the concept of code blocks (replete with begin and end delimiting pairs), but ALGOL 60 took these starting points of structured programming and ran with them, giving rise to familiar faces such as Pascal and C, as well as the likes of B and Simula."
Is Algol 58 the first known programming language with code blocks (begin..end AKA '{'..'}' ), or was there an earlier language where we see this concept first introduced?
We'd see this concept in Assembler... but was there a computer language that was not Assembler, that was an actual language, that existed prior to Algol 58 where the concept first manifests, or is Algol 58 the language where it does so?

Anyone know?
