Euler is a programming language created by Niklaus Wirth and Helmut Weber, conceived as an extension and generalization of ALGOL 60. The designers' goals were to create a language that is:

  • Simpler, yet more flexible, than ALGOL 60
  • Useful and processed with reasonable efficiency
  • Definable with rigorous formality

Available sources indicate that Euler was operational by 1965.
