"What have I learnt?" asks Niklaus #Wirth.
"#Programs must not be regarded as #code for #computers, but as #literature for #humans"

I hope that one day people will really understand and embrace Wirth's legacy.

We will have a better cybernetic world then.

A slide from Niklaus Wirth: "What have I learnt?"
- Writing a program is difficult
- Writing a correct program is even more so
- Writing a publishable program is exacting

- Programs are not written. They grow!
- Controlling growth needs much discipline
- Reducing size and complexity is the triumph

- Programs must not be regarded as code for computers, but as literature for humans
