  I get a bit of nostalgia when coding in Typescript, Kotlin, Swift. It is a sweet revenge that most modern languages, have decided to go with the Pascal influenced approach (yes some ML as well), even most of the C++ wannabe replacements (with exception of Circle).

    Maybe it could be called the 'Hejlsberg effect'. (With no disrespect to Wirth)

    Yeah go is basically Pascal with C/Java syntax and first class coroutines. What could have been.

      Go has a different path, though, but Niklaus Wirth presence is still there, thanks to Oberon-2 influence, coupled with Limbo.
