"The publisher of Wirth's books (Addison-Wesley) has decided to phase out all his books, but Wirth has published revised editions of his book beginning in 2004."
That is sad, but the revised editions seem to be published online.
Interesting. The article states "The compiler prints the value as a given variable changes." -- 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.
Any relation to PL/I?
Why were forward slashes so popular in computing product names in the 70s and 80s?
PL/0, PS/2, CP/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/360?
