That made my day!
In my Data Structures class (could it have been 2 or 3 years ago???)
we were told that Modula-2 was Pascal++/Pascal:=Pascal+1.
I guess it never quite made it huh?
For the record, at the ACM programming contest a couple of semesters
ago, at UT, I think the top 5 teams wrote their programs in Pascal,
but I have a feeling they chose TP because of it's incredibly fast
compile time, most of the people there program in C normally.
I think just about every language has it's place, and I've never
beleived that there is or should be an "Absolute" best language
for everything, after all isn't that what Ada was supposed to be???
