This is NOT a flame.
There is one very significant thing that I like about Modula-2 compared to C.
One has only to use one languge without having to use the other language 
comprising a series of asterisks and ampersands.

In the morning I can read my Modula-2 work from the previous day without
having to switch into the ampersand mode.
