In general, my over-riding memory is that a 'first time' Pascal program that compiles runs better than a 'first time' C program that compiles. On a more specific note, being able to declare a type which only allowed a range of integers is something I miss. I tried to create the same capability in C with a mixture of pre-processor macros and assertions and gave up.

I'm not going back to Pascal now as I'm sold on OO. I do Java, C++, C and assembler, depending on what the job calls for.
