Do obituaries normally take 2 months to write?
The era of clarity and simplicity in computing is over for now but I am happy for experiencing it in the first place and am grateful to Dr. Wirth for championing these values. I strive to stick to those at all times though the means of doing so change a lot depending on the circumstances.
Bit of a late Obit, Lots of discussion & anecdotes when he passed at the start of the year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38858012
