On: Niklaus Wirth has died

It is sad but the guy had long and fulfilling life many can only dream about. I would raise a toast to that. Hopefully he is in a coding Valhalla.

Not just coding: he was also interested* in hardware and built whole machines.

(* might Carver Mead describe him as a metaphorical "tall, thin, person"?)
