Abstract

Niklaus Wirth, the inventor of the languages Pascal and Modula, passed away on 1 January 2024, in Zurich. He was 89. His work, at the dawn of the structured programming revolution, affected many computer scientists deeply, and, I think, was a driver for our being able to produce amounts of working code that would be unimaginable in the 1960 s.

尼克劳斯-沃思（1934-2024）--赏析

帕斯卡尔语言（Pascal）和莫杜拉语言（Modula）的发明者尼克劳斯-沃思（Niklaus Wirth）于 2024 年 1 月 1 日在苏黎世去世。享年 89 岁。他在结构化编程革命之初所做的工作深深影响了许多计算机科学家，我认为，他是我们能够生成大量工作代码的推动力，这在 20 世纪 60 年代是不可想象的。

期刊介绍： IEEE Design & Test offers original works describing the models, methods, and tools used to design and test microelectronic systems from devices and circuits to complete systems-on-chip and embedded software. The magazine focuses on current and near-future practice, and includes tutorials, how-to articles, and real-world case studies. The magazine seeks to bring to its readers not only important technology advances but also technology leaders, their perspectives through its columns, interviews, and roundtable discussions. Topics include semiconductor IC design, semiconductor intellectual property blocks, design, verification and test technology, design for manufacturing and yield, embedded software and systems, low-power and energy-efficient design, electronic design automation tools, practical technology, and standards.
