It should be left as invented in 1970. or something and if new functionality is needed - new languages with new names should be "invented" instead? OK, if you say so. Quote:Brian Kernighan agreed - see his famous paper, Why Pascal Is Not My Favorite Programming Language, for a full analysis. I can as well write a paper "Why is Pascal my favorite programming language" or "Why I am using Pascal for professional development during the last 25 years" etc. I must admit that I don't care much about "why someone doesn't like something", and especially in 2015. I couldn't care less about what has been written in 1981., even if it has been written by Brian Kernighan, with all the respect. There are tons of things I don't like in C (or C++) as well, and would take Pascal (I am talking about today's Pascals like Delphi and Free Pascal) over C/C++ almost anytime, not to speak about various scripting languages with totally awkward syntax. But I can agree with you to some extent - with RAD tools like Delphi the original Pascal language is just a small part of the whole development environment ... https://www.hrastprogrammer.com/hrastwood/ https://hrastprogrammer.bandcamp.com/ |
