Still remember at 14 scrounging $$ together to buy a 2nd hand copy of a Modula-2 compiler for my Atari ST and then eagerly combing through the manual as my parents drove me home from the city. Really was a different era. Like a lot of other people who have posted here who probably came of age like me in the 80s, I went from BASIC to Pascal to Modula-2 and only picked up C later. Wirth's creations were so much a part of how I ended up in this industry. The world of software really owes him a lot.
