   It is with great remorse that we mark the passing of programming language pioneer and A.M. Turing Laureate Niklaus Wirth, who passed away on Jan 1, 2024. Wirth created the Euler and PL360 languages. Working with Tony Hoare, Wirth used Euler as the basis of Algol-W which then became the basis for Pascal, which provided a foundation for future computer languages, systems, and architectural research for years to come. https://bit.ly/3jsDb6y

     Wirth's last article for CACM, "50 Years of Pascal," has been made open to public. You can read it here: https://cacm.acm.org/magazines/2021/3/250705-50-years-of-pascal/fulltext
