 +[[https://archive.org/details/a_research_unix_reader|A Research Unix Reader]] says: Steve (Stephen R.) Bourne arrived at the time of v6, bringing Algol 68 with him. His definitive programs, the debugger adb, and the "Bourne shell," although written in C, looked like Algol 68: Steve wrote DO-OD and BEGIN- END instead of { and }.
