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?

Lists, for starters. It's a simple thing, but they do have functionality that is not congruent to machine operations and also never delineated in code the programmer uses--to spell it out, x86 etc. doesn't know what a linked list is, and neither does assembly presume to. So although I believe he was joking, >>30 almost has a point.
