The saddest news came from ETH Zürich on this New Year.
I was grew up learning and using Niklaus Wirth languages Pascal, Modula-2, Oberon, Oberon-2. The "Algorithms and data structures" by Nicklaus Wirth became my "always on table" book. Pascal, Modula-2 and Oberon/Oberon-2 was the best school of structured programming. Now these conceptions of structured programming, interfaces, modules are continuing in Rust, Golang and in many modern computer programming languages. It's really hard to re-estimate how influencing were Niklaus Wirth languages and programming approaches on computer languages landscape and these languages still remain the state of the art in programming.
Rest in peace professor Nicklaus Wirth, you and your impact on computer science always be remembered!
