Wirth Languages Programming

Wirth

This category holds links on programming languages created by Dr. Niklaus Wirth (Pascal; Modula, Modula-2; Oberon), or derived directly therefrom (Delphi; Obliq; Modula-3; Lagoona, Component Pascal). All are compiled, except Obliq. Wirth, now retired, lives, and worked at ETH Zürich, in Zurich, Switzerland. Some people think Ada is a Wirth language, and even send emails stating such. Ada was the work of several groups, first in the US, and then Europe, over many years. Unlike true Wirth languages, Ada was not derived directly from any one or more Wirth language. Some aspects of Ada are derived from, or strongly influenced by, some Wirth concepts (especially Pascal) but this is true of many (most?) modern programming languages. So far, there seems no documentation showing that Wirth had any direct or significant involvement in the Ada development process. If you can provide such, please email the URL to directory editor jerryobject.

• - By Niklaus Wirth; Communications of the ACM, April 1971. Programming is usually taught by examples. Experience shows that the success of a programming course critically depends on the choice of these examples. Unfortunately, they are too often selected wi
