I first wrote it as "worthwhile", but then the pun practically fell out of the screen at me.
I love Wirth's work, and not just his languages. Also his stuff like algorithms + data = programs, and stepwise refinement. Like many others here, Pascal was one of my early languages, and I still love it, in the form of Delphi and Free Pascal.
RIP, guruji.
Edited to say guruji instead of guru, because the ji suffix is an honorific in Hindi, although guru is already respectful.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
