Barbara Liskov, your contributions to the theory and practice of computing are impressive and worthy of emulation. Thank you 🙂

Anyone who programs should be aware of Barbara’s contributions that lead us to our modern languages

She talk about the historical of Object Oriented Programmign!!!

I'm waiting for the Wirth's interview, if exists

Why ask "how was this experience to your family?" would you ask this question to a male Scientist? I loved this interview all the topics and history and reasonings etc until i heard this inappropriate question.
