  [dupe] Not sure why the obit so late (NYT did same strangely) Lots of discussion and anecdotes back when news broke at start of the year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38858012 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38858012

    The article and HN title should have been titled "A Remembrance of Niklaus Wirth, Who Inspired a Generation of Computer Programmers". It is not really a dupe with that in mind. Interesting piece.
