  1. 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.

  2. 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.

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

  4. #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...
