Indeed, I only provided direct translations of the programs Ershov and Knuth wrote, I never did much in the way work beyond that, my focus was mainly on recreating the compiler itself.

There were number of innovative but relatively obscure languages that came out of the first wave of cybernetics. Glushkov, one of Lyapunov's contemporaries who made a number of significant contributions to automata theory, created a language called Analytik [1], with early support for linear algebra and symbolic differentiation. REFAL is another language that emerged from the same era and still under active development [2]. At its foundation is an alternative and surprisingly rich algebraic theory of computation based on so-called word problems [3].
