As far a flaws and impositions of 'good' programming...
Pascal was oriented at students. It was designed to impose structured and
coherent programming techniques on the student. I found that learning pascal
early in my programming career helped me enormously, and now I can move
to any other language with relative ease and write 'good' code. Whereas, had
I learned C I would have been bred with a more cryptic sense of structure.
I use Modula-2 extensively and have not found any really tragic flaws that
are major hangups.
