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

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

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRkfqiF46MQ

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

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.

Nachlese zum 127. virtuellen #LTN am 11.01.:

Es haben sich in der Summe 13 Gäste eingefunden. Vielen Dank für das Interesse.

Themen waren diesmal u.a Gedenken an Dr. #NiklausWirth; Planung Termine externe Veranstaltungen; ics-Handling.

War wieder ein kurzweiliger Abend.

Das nächste reale Treffen findet am 18.01. ab 18:00 Uhr beim Theo in der Schnepfenreuther Hauptstr. 19 statt.

Einfach vorbeischauen und die lokale #Community kennenlernen.

Wir freuen uns.

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.

[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

#lisp #pascal #symbolics #genera #niklauswirth and we can call PASCAL procedures/functions from Lisp

As one can see, the integers in Symbolics PASCAL then are also extended to bignums ...

#lisp #pascal #symbolics #genera #niklauswirth then we can call Lisp functions from PASCAL..

#lisp #pascal #lispmachine #symbolics #niklauswirth The Zmacs editor had a syntax-aware PASCAL mode. One could also run PASCAL programs from the Lisp Listener (aka REPL). The debugger than understood PASCAL stack frames, could display the source code and execute PASCAL snippets...

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

#lisp #lispmachine #symbolics #genera #pascal #niklauswirth Niklaus Wirth's PASCAL made it to unusual systems: Here is a screenshot of a Lisp Machine, browsing the original Pascal User Manual and Report, but in a hypertext browser, with a PASCAL implementation loaded...

Niklaus Wirth has died

He will goto a better place.

I’m sure he will be as unhappy about it as the rest of us.
