Niklaus Wirth inspired me with the clarity of his writing and thinking. multiple generations of coders learned how to think about programs as data structures plus algorithms from him. multiple generations of language creators learned how to think about the structure of computer languages from him. and I would not have spent the last half-century coding and making things if I had not encountered his works.
the loss of Prof Wirth saddens me.
