I've started describing what C does is breaking the third wall. Which in theater sis when the actors acknowledge they're in a play.

C totally accepts breaking the third wall. And Pascal doesn't.

Problem with C currently is the language is controlled by people that think programming languages should be like Pascal.

It would. It's still an interesting description of the difference between C and Pascal, though.
