More early Pascal history (way before Delphi; before Turbo Pascal and Quick Pascal)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/05/07

The people knowing about the really early Pascal history are a dying breed. So before I pass away (see the posts on my rectum cancer), let me post a few more links here that based on yesterday’s Trip down memory lane: book on p-Code based UCSD Pascal which I ended with:

No, You Are Not Getting a CVE for That (as it rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway)

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/25

A great rambling on “It rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway” (I really want that printed on a T-Shirt):

[Wayback/Archive] No, You Are Not Getting a CVE for That.

Lot’s of references by [Wayback/Archive] Parsia to great posts by [Wayback/Archive] Raymond Chen mainly on security issues that are not: there is only a vulnerability when you get from the other side of the outside of the airtight hatchway to the inside, not when you are already inside.

And of course this great reference to H2G2 (The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy), a trilogy in five parts by Douglas Adams:

Arthur: But can’t you think of something?!
Ford: I did.
Arthur: You did!
Ford: Unfortunately, it rather involved being on the other side of this airtight hatchway—
Arthur: oh.
Ford: —that’s just sealed behind us.
