Don't agree. As far as I'm concerned, after Pascal it was downhill for Wirth.

Ada is a lot better language. The standard library leaves a lot to be desired,
but the language itself is as good as it gets. You would probably agree if you
have used it.

Reading about it on the web and swearing at the use of with at the top and use
of capials in the code does not constitute use.
