First: No flame intended.

C has very few commands. I really don't find 'for', 'if', etc. all that
confusing. Do you mean C library functions? Amiga library functions?

I find that most C is very well written. There are some people that delight
in abusing the pre-processor, or crunching long strings of operators together
on a single line... Even then, though, the way they are doing it is usually
a well-known idiom, and once you see it and understand it, shouldn't give 
you much trouble.

Persevere!

I've never used modula-2. I assume it must be Pascal-like, and I really
don't like Pascal. I think this has more to do with a broken Pascal
compiler I had to use once, more than the language, but I do find the
Pascal convention of LongMixedCaseVariableNames and the variable and
function scoping rules rather annoying.
