Nicklaus Wirth is the inventor of the programming languages Pascal, Modula-2 and Oberon.
Niklaus Wirth, Professor, retired (Switzerland) Niklaus Wirth was born in February 1934 in Winterthur, Switzerland The School of Niklaus Wirth.

 Pascal - Ueber die Sprache
Professor Wirth participated in various versions of Algol, a language put forth by international cooperation that introduced the basic concepts of structured programming to the world.
Wirth terms Pascal as a descendant of Algol 60 (for Algol, 1960 standard).
Wirth felt that the design committee for Algol, after Algol 60, was losing focus and creating an unnecessarily complex language.

Wirth gets away with it because he's Who He Is, but that's no excuse, particularly in a work that is to Modula-2 what K and R is to C. And while I'm at it, Springer-Verlag gets a hiss for consistently producing the worst-indexed books in the computer publishing industry.
Wirth's approach emulates turtle graphics by employing the concept of a graphics pen that draws a line as it moves, and any activity causes the pen to come to rest at the last pixel written.
Wirth's book shows the output of the program, which is based on a mutually recursive graphics algorithm developed by the Polish mathematician Sierpinski.

Wirth was made a fellow of the museum.
Wirth replied that it was true, that the original machine he planned to run Pascal on was not ideal for recursive languages, but they worked it out, and there never was a non-recursive version of Pascal.
Wirth was asked after the lecture what he thought of the rise of C/C++.

In 1964, Niklaus Wirth was invited to join the Algol working group, in response to his work on the language Euler.
The one proposed by Wirth was Algol W, which was implemented on on an IBM 360 computer.
Wirth called that project unsucessful, and instead, a Pascal compiler was written in a subset of the full Pascal language and translated by hand to a language called SCALLOP on the CDC 6000 computer, and thus bootstrapped.

 Introduction
HP Pascal originates from the Pascal language developed by Nicklaus Wirth in 1968.
Wirth's Pascal is based on the ALGOL 60 programming language.
His objective was to introduce Computer Science students to "good programming practices." Since then, Pascal has undergone extensions, particularly in its input-output capabilities.

Nicklaus Wirth, the designer of Pascal, gave a talk once at which he was asked, "How do you pronounce your name?" He replied, "You can call me by my name, pronouncing it 'Veert', or you can call me by my value, 'Worth' ".
One can immediately tell from this comment that Nicklaus Wirth is a Quiche Eater.
Nicklaus Wirth (the aformentioned Quiche Eater) actually managed to write an entire book (2) contending that you could write a program based on Data Structures instead of the other way around.

But Wirth's algorithm required four separate procedures that called each other.

Brian and I had just started working with an early release of Pascal from Professor Nichlaus Wirth's ETH labs in Switzerland and we were impressed with its elegant simplicity and power.
In a cryptic statement, Professor Wirth of the ETH institute and father of the Pascal, Modula 2 and Oberon structured languages, merely stated that P. Barnum was correct.
In a related late-breaking story, usually reliable sources are stating that a similar confession may be forthcoming from William Gates concerning the MS-DOS and Windows operating environments.
