Staying on the low-content theme . . . that's just how awesome Wirth et al are.

Fast compile times are cool, but I've never heard anyone say they liked programming in a language that Wirth created. The possible exception is Delphi as a Pascal derivative, but that has very little to do with wanting to program in Pascal.

Pascal was the language of choice for Windows development for quite some time even before Delphi.

Also, for what it's worth, Ada has quite a few Wirthisms and I personally quite enjoy it. But it technically isn't a Wirth language.
