Just had to get my 2 cents worth in …
Modula-2 is my language of choice, but it does lack some features which make it
a less powerful language than C…
For example :
1. The break and continue statements… very flexxible and useful, but not
available in M-2…
2. Complex structure initialization …
3. Unlimited string lengths (apparently the Amiga versions seem to provide
null terminated strings so there is no issue although I believe 'standard' M-2
uses a length byte like Pascal…)
