The programming language "Wirth"?

[lesel]

Does someone know something about programming language "Wirth"? The name of this language is just like the name of computer scientist Niklaus Wirth, because of which I can't find anything except this document written in czech: http://www.brainstorm.cz/NightLab/Wirth/Wirth_index.htm
item 3. Návrh jazyka Wirth.
Can someone help me?

Why do you give me this link? I know who is Niklaus Wirth. I search information about PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE NAMED " W I R T H " .
Thanks in advance!

I never heard of that one, And he says "C++ is an insult to the human brain."
I hope he doesn't really mean it.

I knew he was a big guy for Pascal but I've not heard of a langauge called Wirth. Are you sure you aren't refering to the kind of pseudocode he developed?

I like this quote though, "Whereas Europeans generally pronounce my name the right way ('Ni-klows Wirt'), Americans invariably mangle it into 'Nick-les Worth'. This is to say that Europeans call me by name, but Americans call me by value."
And Wirth's Law is true as well.

Actually language named Wirth does not exist, I think. Confusion comes from this list: http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/

Pascal was developed by Niklaus Wirth.
