RE: HP Prime. The programmer dream machine
The Pascal programming language was developed by Dr Niklaus Wirth at the ETH in Zürich, Switzerland, in 1970. He named it after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal who produced the first mechanical adding machine in the early 17th century.
Wirth also designed Modula-2 and Oberon and became the Turing Prize in 1984.

So don't confuse Pascal's adding machine (France) with the Pascal programming language (Switzerland)
