Hi!

Well, in fact the "BY" construct is not the only one which needs or asks for
further comment: "Why "Father" didn't do in the other way". In fact there is
no language structure in Modula-2 to which "no" question can be addressed. But
more or less all the questions can be answered only by prof.Wirth himself. 

I remember (let us stay at discussion about "BY") that somebody mentioned
something like: "If you would like to have a step of an "expression" length,
then you should use a "WHILE" statement." Correct. But why don't you use
"WHILE" statement in all cases?

I think, that all this complaints are more or less guessings about the real
intention of prof.Wirth design and they can be correctly answered only by him.

In final stage they can be translated to the debate which language is the
best. And such a debate is neverending. It is very similar to a trick which can parents use when their children insist to hear a fairy tale in the evening.
For this purpose we use a comparisson between Story about a glass snail and
Story about the angry snake. The first is more beutiful, while the second is
longer. So you can play with your children as long as you would like. When he
chooses one you propose him the second one.

The similar story is when you are talking about the programming languages. We
behave like children who always would like to hear the other story since it is
better or easier or something else. But this behaviour runs the civilization
further!

Regards to all of you

PS: Perhaps you didn't thing about the assembly language. In fact as much as
you can do using any other language, you can do using it!
