Grazie a Francesco Gramignani ricordiamo Niklaus Wirth, l'inventore del Pascal, in occasione del primo anniversario dalla scomparsa. In questo video, diamo un'occhiata ai solitari con un algoritmo in Pascal che sfrutta gli array per gestire le cataste di carte da gioco. #pascal #solitario #niklauswirth #algoritmi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcg00ygIUyc

El 30 de octubre de 1970, el científico computacional suizo, Niklaus Wirth envía al Acta Informática, los lineamientos del Lenguaje Pascal. Publicado en Vol. 1, Fasc.1, 1971

Hokay... I'm going to have a better look at that data when it's not midnight. 😉

The project name scared me; I thought at first it was going to be something to do with the #Oberon language, of which I have been very careful to avoid learning anything about 😜

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.

Wirth on the importance of abstraction to language design

"C++ ... C# and Java ... they suffer from their 'mightiness'. I'm always expecting they're going to collapse under their own weight." -- #NiklausWirth (2018)

Professor Wirth not only designed languages, he also designed hardware ....
He designed Lilith, ~100 were built ~ 1980.
It was one of the first computer workstations worldwide with a high-resolution graphical display and a mouse.

Thank you for the ever-pertinent reminder to read these brilliant expositions.

Quiet manifestos by two masters in #CS. They are must reads for anyone who is interested in designing systems and tools, in any field. The calls for #simplicity, economy & useability are of universal relevance. And these biographically motivated essays are themselves models in simplicity and concreteness, resting unboastingly on the personal achievements of their authors.

Niklaus Wirth, computer scientist and father of the Pascal programming language, sadly passed away on January 1st this year, less than 2 months short of what would've been his 90th birthday today.

Sad to hear of the death of #NiklausWirth who contributed so much to computer science including one of my favourite maxims "algorithms + data structures = programs".
