Pascal vs C

Name: Anonymous 2010-04-05 17:12

If you were to give a language like Python static typing and make it a compiled language instead of interpreted, you basically end up with something like Pascal. So how would you rate Pascal's abilities compared to C? I know dynamic typing requires runtime checking, but would it be possible to have dynamic typing in a compiled language like Pascal?

Did you even read a single word?

I'd particularly like to point out that, on current architectures, LISP has language features that are in fact dependent on its runtime. It doesn't matter that the runtime is built from native code, it implements features which are both required and non-native. (Otherwise, grow a pair and make the case that LISP is an assembly.)

But my favorite part is where you insist on contradicting technicality by submitting an argument about practicality. Please keep doing that. It's awesome.
