Does not compute.

Your comment is mere empty verbiage with no information.

Your critique is valid, but I am not in a mood to prove myself to anons on the internet :)

I am not the "anon" here; you are.

You made a preposterous statement, got called out, and are now making excuses.

Anybody who claims to have studied "Theoretical Computer Science" can/will never make the statements that you did (and that too in a thread to do with Niklaus Wirth's achievements who was one of the most "practical" of "theoretical computer scientists"!).

Here is wikipedia for edification - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_computer_science and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science

"I come to talk low-effort shit, not to think or inform". Par for the course, I suppose.
