Today, Niklaus Wirth, “father” of The Pascal Programming Language turned 85.
Happy birthday!
Almost 50 years ago, Niklaus Wirth submitted his famous paper “The Programming Language Pascal” which was published early 1971
Luckily it is archived on both the WayBack machine and Archive.is as the only PDF copy I could find on-line isn’t always on-line: http://oberoncore.ru/_media/library/wirth_the_programming_language_pascal.pdf
Originally it was published by Niklaus Wirth in Acta Informatica, Vol. 1, Fasc. 1, 1971 pp. 35-63
He has been very active, just browse through the [WayBack] List of computer science publications by Niklaus Wirth
