In continuation (and response) to the "I hate C because Pascal is so wonderful"
idea emitted here by several people, here is a little about the original Pascal
and about some of the "wonderful" features it has, and where they originated:

Never mind that later versions fixed (duct taped?) those problems and parleyed
them successfully into advantages. (Now remember where Fortran got its six
character original identifier length from and where Lisp got car and cdr from,
and where C got its pre/post decrementing capability from, and you will see that
Pascal is in good company).
