In 2023 at the first International Pascal Congress organized by the University of Salamanca, Spain, I was given the Niklaus Wirth Award. I gave an acceptance speach, covering the history of Pascal, but from a very personal perspective. I blogged the presentation text and images, at the time: https://blog.marcocantu.com/blog/2023-july-niklaus-wirth-prize-acceptance-speech.html

Now the organizers have finished editing and uploading the content of the video of that session. You can find it on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skzo7Yj16K8. It's a long session (the video is almost one hour) and visually it's fairly boring (it has me reading and slides on the side)... but it can be interesting to lsiten to it if you've been into Pascal or Delphi for as much of your lfie as I've been.

Notice, that the conference is being organized again in June 2026.
