Good Ideas, Through the Looking Glass
Niklaus WirthAbstract
An entire potpourri of ideas is listed from the past decades of Computer Science and
Computer Technology. Widely acclaimed at their time, many have lost in splendor and
brilliance under today’s critical scrutiny. We try to find reasons. Some of the ideas are
almost forgotten. But we believe that they are worth recalling, not the least because one
must try to learn from the past, be it for the sake of progress, intellectual stimulation, or
fun.
