Link clearance: history of Pascal / Object Pascal / Delphi Language / FreePacal / …

This post lists a lot of links related to the history of Pascal / Object Pascal / Delphi Language / FreePascal / etc.

No mentioning of Pascal should start without Niklaus Wirth. At the time of writing he is still alive, hopefully he still is a the time of publication.

Link clearance.

• Quote on Niklaus Wirth: “Whereas Europeans generally pronounce his name the right way (‘Nick-louse Veert’), Americans invariably mangle it into ‘Nickel’s Worth.’ This is to say that Europeans call him by name, but Americans call him by value.” — Introduction by Adriaan van Wijngaarden at the IFIP Congress (1965).
