I'm a bit surprised that Niklaus Wirth et al would use Verillog instead of VHDL to implement Oberon RISC5.
Is anyone well-versed enough to try to bring some light on this topic?
I don't have a preference, but with VHDL being so closely related, at least in style, to the Wirth family of languages, it seems at least somewhat interesting that he would choose the language that is less similar to his own.

RIP 😢
Developed 9 languages including:
Pascal
ALGOL
Modula
Modula-2
Oberon
Oberon-2
Borland Delphi was a successor to Pascal and it's creator (Anders Hejlsberg) in turn created .NET & C#...
So only a few degrees of separation.
I made most of my career on Delphi and C#. And grew up with Turbo, UCSD, and Amiga Pascal.

"Mr Pascal" - Niklaus Wirth has died, aged 89.
This obituary provides many interesting details about a very accomplished life https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/04/niklaus_wirth_obituary/
The world of #ComputerScience mourns the loss of Niklaus Wirth—a stalwart figure known for his influential contributions to programming languages, methodology, software engineering, and hardware design.
Born on 15 February 1934 in Switzerland, Wirth was a luminary in the field and celebrated for his development of several groundbreaking programming languages including #ALGOL-W, #Pascal, and #Modula-2.
#Wirth died aged 89 on 1 January 2024.
His passing has reverberated across the tech community, with software language designer Bertrand Meyer saying:
“We lost a titan of programming languages, programming methodology, software engineering and hardware design.”

Niklaus #Wirth, more than a pioneer of computer science and informatics, and the inventor of #Algol W, #Pascal, #Modula, #Oberon, #Lilith and #ObjectPascal passed away on January 1st, 2024. RIP.

Nikolaus Wirth, the great pioneer of computer science, died on January 1, 2024. His work had a great influence on my own beginnings as a programmer. It started with PASCAL at school and compiler construction at university in the 90s. His law still seems to be working today: "Software is getting slower more rapidly than hardware becomes faster" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niklaus_Wirth #pascal #modula #oberon #computersience #history
Algorithmen und Datenstrukturen. Einführung in das Programmieren mit #TurboPascal, und unvergesslich: Software-Engineering mit #Modula-2 bei #ReinhardKöhler. Hier ein #Nachruf für Niklaus #Wirth: https://www.golem.de/news/nachruf-informatiker-und-pascal-erfinder-niklaus-wirth-gestorben-2401-180806.html
RIP Niklaus #Wirth. Wirth's #Pascal was among the first programming languages I actually enjoyed, after love-hate with #Fortran, #AssemblyLanguage and #PL1. I did loads of programming in Pascal in the 1970s and 1980s, on #DEC10s, #Vaxen and on the first IBM PCs (#TurboPascal). Then, #Modula. If you are using a #Logitech device today (I am!), that's another outcome of Wirth's vast oeuvre!
RIP Niklaus Wirth. :(
Creator of various programming languages like #modula #modula2 #oberon #oberon2 #oberon07 #pascal and more... the Oberon OS, and interesting computing hardware, such as the Lilith computer, has passed on the 1st of Jan.
He was one of the few people who actually made the full computing stack, from a language and compiler to OS, to hardware to run it on.
I'm hoping that re-imagining computing from the ground up like that, didn't just die with him.
Wirth managed to do what few people in academic CS can/want to do today by implementing his own hardware, OS, compilers, GUI and applications and even designing his own hardware description language in several iterations (#Modula and the #Lilith, #Oberon and the #Ceres and later his RISC5 FPGA systems) and he used the systems in teaching and research at #ETHZ. Today, academic CS often prioritizes teaching of phenomena and coping with commercial HW/SW instead of building from first principles 🙁.
Anyone else learned #Modula as a #programming language in school? In 1992 I had a Structured Programming class at college and they used Modula-2. It was far easier to get things done than in C, which I was learning at roughly the same time.
I also used Borland #TurboPascal a little and #Delphi later on and I have to say I liked all the #Pascal variants a lot more than any BASIC I've used before or after.
