   "It is unfortunate that people dealing with computers often have little interest in the history of their subject. As a result, many concepts and ideas are propagated and advertised as being new, which existed decades ago, perhaps under a different terminology."

   Niklaus Wirth, "A Brief History of Software Engineering" (2008)
