[net.lang] Pascal typing vs. C non-typing vs. Modula-2

joel@decwrl.UUCP (Joel McCormack) (01/26/85)

    Why ask people to respond to problems about Pascal, just so we can get
more non-informative comparisons between Pascal and C?  Rather, anyone who
wants to bitch about typed languages like Pascal preventing them from getting
real work accomplished might try reading about Modula-2.

    THEN, we might see some arguments by type-haters why Modula-2 is
horrible.  I, at least, would find this (a) more interesting, and (b) a
better comparison between the two philosophies - there are too many things in
Pascal that can be picked on that are solved in Modula-2.
