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…)
