@martin \- fun article by the man himself. I always like those retrospectives.

I would take issue with the claim that his Modula-[23] -> Oberon was the first 
transition like that, though. Lisp dropping 
[M-expressions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-expression) was probably an 
even more dramatic simplification and a couple decades earlier { but Wirth may 
have only meant "transition by him in his journey" and meant that claim with a 
bit of wry humor :-) }.

Anyway, I know people who like Python more than Nim even when they know both, 
though I try to persuade them. There is certainly room in the world for many 
prog.langs (duplicative effort & all!), but I look forward to you becoming a 
Nimmer & helping out our little corner - Cheers.
