That, and the fact that while (a=b){} goes through undetected. In general
it relies too much on symbols !^%&===?{}, etc etc. While that might be my
Pascal bias, I program C very regularly for over 10 years now, and I haven't
gotten used to it.

C also shares some of (IMHO) Pascal's failings, like not distinguishing
procedural end from other blocks "end" and complex blockstructure.
(different syntax for 1 and multi line blocks).
