Thanks for noticing!Niklaus Wirth revolutionized my life. I owe him the recognition.
My first Algol-like language was Simula 67.
My second was Pascal.
It was like a breath of fresh air!
(Before Simula I was a Fortran programmer. When I learned Simula I kept getting frustrated that it was so hard to do GOTOs. But then I never even considered adding a GOTO to Frontier. Not for a minute.)
