> all Wirthian languages have garbage collection, Not Pascal at least and I don't think Modula has it either.

  Modula-3 had it, but it was possible to do manual allocation as well. ALGOL-W, Pascal, Modula 2 (and probably the original Modula) did not have GC as part of the base language or library.

    I don't think Modula 3 can be considered a language devised by Niklaus Wirth.

      Good point. It did receive his endorsement, however.
