Let’s Talk Concurrency with Sir Tony Hoare

We also interviewed Sir Tony Hoare personally about his work with concurrency that has spanned across 50+ years. In addition to Quicksort, Sir Tony has a list of other achievements under his belt; Quickselect, Hoare logic, Communicating Sequential Processes and Structured programming to name a few. After I had joined the Queen’s University Belfast, I teamed up with a colleague, Jim Welsh, to design a new version of Pascal; a language which is then current for implementation of compilers and other software, to design a new version which would import some part of the class structure of Simula 67.
