Wirth likes to design computer architectures to go with the languages he creates (he's got a EE undergrad). He did (at least) p-Machine & p-Code (Pascal virtual machine), Lilith (2901-based bit-slice graphical workstation implementing a Modula-2 virtual machine) and Ceres (a series of ns32000 based workstations running Oberon). He's been into FPGAs for a while. Smart guy.
