| No.

It's another example of an algorithm that was first implemented
in a language other than Algol -- -and more specifically,
in a language at a lower level than Algol.

So, the correct answer is therefore "yes".

To be sure, I know what machine code is.
I used the term in the general sense.
Here, the intent was to point out that the algorithm was not
first implemented in Algol.
