In Memory: Computer Scientist and Pascal Inventor Nikolaus Wirth
Niklaus Wirth
1934 – 2024
Swiss computer scientist and 1984 Turing Award winner Niklaus Emil Wirth dies, aged 89. The long-serving ETH professor’s legacy includes numerous programming languages such as Euler (1965), ALGOL W (1966), and, notably, Pascal (1970), a stint at Xerox PARC, and his 1995 plea for “Lean Software” (now known as Wirth’s law.)
