Abstract

There has recently been some controversy between Habermann and Lecarme & Desjardins on PASCAL in "Acta Informatica".This paper contains some more comments on PASCAL, from a systems programmer's point of view.Some undefined points in PASCAL are first treated. Then PASCAL's data types are critically reviewed. A few remarks on common PASCAL constructs are also given.Since the author has experience with the programming language MARY, some comparisons between PASCAL and MARY will be made.
