Passing of Niklaus Wirth - RIP

[foosaa]

I owe my respects to Niklaus Wirth! One of the technical greats in our industry!

I had a couple of my early career years with Delphi (Object Pascal) v2.0 and above.

One of the fastest compiler during those days (unsure if it still holds the fort!) which could compile some 10+lakh LOC under 25-30 seconds with multiple .exe and .dlls.

Pascal was one of early languages which I had learned. Mostly Borland and Turbo Pascal versions!

It was different in many ways and those golden days!

I try to practice his thoughts (Wirth's law) whenever wherever possible. Small and efficient as possible!

You will be missed! RIP legend!
