On: Niklaus Wirth has died

[gjvc]

now would be a good time read this in his memory https://cr.yp.to/bib/1995/wirth.pdf

Also, his Oberon system provides a rich seam to mine. This, from a symposium held at ETH Zurich on the occasion of his 80th birthday in 2014, is a whirlwind retrospective. "Reviving a computer system of 25 years ago" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXY78gPMvl0

One of the greats.
