    <i>&quot;The publisher of Wirth&#x27;s books (Addison-Wesley) has decided to phase out all his books, but Wirth has published revised editions of his book beginning in 2004.&quot;</i><p>That is sad, but the revised editions seem to be published online.

    Interesting. The article states &quot;The compiler prints the value as a given variable changes.&quot; -- surely it means the program does, and not the compiler?

      I take it to mean that the compiler inserts variable print code on variable modifications.

    Why were forward slashes so popular in computing product names in the 70s and 80s?<p>PL&#x2F;0, PS&#x2F;2, CP&#x2F;M, etc.

      It was a convention to denote a variation or version. Not sure how the trend started though.

      Maybe referencing the reputation of IBM System&#x2F;360?
