> Might have read about them, but highly doubt he run any on computer. Nice goalpost shifting. Anyways, you also neglected that he was a major proponent of structured programming and the author of the letter "Go To Statement Considered Harmful". The idea that he would oppose high-level languages is not based in reality. Specific languages, yes, but not because they are high-level as your silly original comment claimed. |

Dijkstra was highly influential in theoretical (proofs, algos) and practical (spec&compiler for Algol60) compuper science. But in reality he used his fountain pen disproportionately more than the computer.
