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

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.

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".

Der 127. virtuelle Linux-Treff Nord steht an:
Am Donnerstag, den 11.01. findet wieder unser virtueller #Linux-Treff Nord statt. Beginn ist um 19:00 Uhr.
Themen werden u.a. diesmal sein:
- Aktueller Stand und erste Erfahrungen mit unserem Matrix-Server,
- Nachruf Dr. #NiklausWirth,
- und was sonst noch so anliegt.
Wer mit dabei sein und z.B. eine Linuxfrage loswerden möchte oder einfach nur so, einfach eine Mail an kontakt[at]lug-noris.de senden.
Wir freuen uns.
RIP Niklaus Wirth. Pascal was my first language at University. Modula-2 the language I had to help students with when I was a TA.
And, as PhD my first project was to formalize the static semantics of Pascal, for which I studied the “Pascal User Manual” day after day. It formed the foundation of my PhD thesis.
One of the most famous #computerprogramming books (1975)...

[jmk] - Sehr interessantes Interview aus dem Jahr 2021 mit Prof. em. Niklaus Wirth, Jahrgang 1934, der leider verstorben ist. Ein angenehmer bescheidener Mensch erzählt dort seinen Werdegang und wie er u.a. die Programmiersprache Pascal entwickelte und damit weltberühmt wurde. Mit Pascal habe ich damals meine Diplomarbeit erstellt und war für mich der Einstieg in die Programmiersprache C.
R.I.P. Prof. em. #NiklausWirth

I wonder what Wirth would have to say about it. He was developing similar computer systems: Lilith with Modula 2 and Ceres with Oberon.
