No, there was no such idea here, simply the opportunity of being able to
design an ideal processor architecture for the problem at hand.

See his 80th birthday symposium talk, the last talk at

I think it's important to bear in mind that for Prof. Wirth the FPGA is
simply a means to a particular end.

Cheers,
