How did Wirth influence software development?

I advocated for a disciplined approach to software development, emphasizing structured programming and rigorous design. My work on languages like Pascal aimed to make programming more systematic and less error-prone. By providing tools and methodologies that encouraged clarity and modularity, I hoped to improve the reliability and maintainability of software systems, thereby raising the overall standard of the discipline.
