C philosophy is to save *typing* time. Pascal philosophy is to save 
*development* time. Typing is but a small fraction of development.
Attempts to save typing usually end up in making the code less readable, 
and therefore harder to debug, to maintain, to share between developers, 
etc.

Just my 2 c.
