Looking at #NiklausWirth's #Oberon compiler I am going back to the NS32000 code in the dead tree edition of #ProjectOberon, because in the version I found on the net the description of RISC-0/RISC-5 in chapter 16 is not covering the complete instruction set used for the code examples in chapter 12.2. (I don't know if there is an official printed edition of the book that covers the "more recent" changes.)

Un retrato de Niklaus Wirth, profesor de informática y creador de Pascal. Lo hice para probar a convertir una pintura en escala de grises a colores.

No está terminado, finalmente seguí haciendo otras pruebas. Dichas pruebas culminaron en la pintura de Morrigan y Lilith que publiqué hace unas semanas.

Los colores raros fueron a propósito :>

@franiky_gts arrivato tutto! La litografia è anche più bella di quanto mi aspettassi! 😍😍😍

Grazie a Francesco Gramignani ricordiamo Niklaus Wirth, l'inventore del Pascal, in occasione del primo anniversario dalla scomparsa. In questo video, diamo un'occhiata ai solitari con un algoritmo in Pascal che sfrutta gli array per gestire le cataste di carte da gioco. #pascal #solitario #niklauswirth #algoritmi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tcg00ygIUyc

Hokay... I'm going to have a better look at that data when it's not midnight. 😉

The project name scared me; I thought at first it was going to be something to do with the #Oberon language, of which I have been very careful to avoid learning anything about 😜

E o que rolou no Computer History Museum recentemente?

E o que rolou no Computer History Museum recentemente? - Retrópolis

O CHM é um museu muito ativo, e sempre tem atividades interessantes. A gente também recebe informações a respeito dos seus projetos, mas nem sempre conseguimos falar tudo por aqui. Então, vamos a uma breve lista: O Furby, aquele brinquedo na forma de um bicho peludo, meio coruja, meio hamster, completou 25 anos. Lembra dele?

I'm a bit surprised that Niklaus Wirth et al would use Verillog instead of VHDL to implement Oberon RISC5.

Is anyone well-versed enough to try to bring some light on this topic?

I don't have a preference, but with VHDL being so closely related, at least in style, to the Wirth family of languages, it seems at least somewhat interesting that he would choose the language that is less similar to his own.

Wirth on the importance of abstraction to language design
