Wirth...

[Spencer W. Thomas]

Hey, guys, if you want to know what Wirth was about when he designed
PL360, Euler, Pascal, Modula, .... why don't you read his Turing award
lecture in this month's CACM.  Right from the horse's mouth.  Then we
don't need to wade through these inane, interminable discussions about
whether Pascal was, or was not, designed as a teaching language, and so
on.  And in net.lang.c, of all places!!!

Followups to this message will go to net.flame.
