RIP, Niklaus Wirth, 15 February 1934 – 1 January 2024. Probably best known for the Pascal programming language. 🪦
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niklaus_WirthPascal was the first programming language I learned way back in 1995 with Turbo Pascal on my first PC, and the first language where I actually *learned* how to program in 1997, with GNU Pascal (ISO) at the university.
Pascal may not be Brian Kernighan's favorite language, but I owe it my career, sort of. 🙇♂️
