Hah, as someone who has studied at University of Oslo, many of the lecturers make sure that Simula isn’t forgotten, by constantly reminding us that it was the first language with classes etc.

Therefore, a few years back I decided to learn it a bit (I borrowed a really old book from the library) and solved one of the Advent of Code puzzles in Simula: https://github.com/judofyr/aoc2018/blob/master/day3prog.sim

I was actually very surprised at how “modern” it felt. However, neither this code nor the article touches on the real cool parts of Simula: Simulations based on coroutines.
