As a reminder, there is also a Simula compiler provided by GNU (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gnu.org&#x2F;software&#x2F;cim&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.gnu.org&#x2F;software&#x2F;cim&#x2F;</a>). A gist for installing and running the compiler is available from <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;mclements&#x2F;706fcb68047f7f8c07014c70f9472521" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;gist.github.com&#x2F;mclements&#x2F;706fcb68047f7f8c07014c70f9...</a>.

&gt; <i>The project was initiated as a response to the lecture held by James Gosling at the 50th anniversary of Simula in Oslo on 27th September, 2017.</i><p>This made me realize that I actually have never read any articles or seen any contalks by James Gosling. Surely the guy behind Java must have some interesting thoughts and ideas to share. Will give that presentation a listen later!

Interesting work! Judging from the commit history, it seems to be entirely the work of one person, Øystein Myhre Andersen, whose GitHub profile contains the following bio blurb:<p>&gt; Veteran Software Developer, born may 1946. Worked with various Simula teams from the very beginning. Speciality: Runtime Design and Code Generation.
