which is really awesome because it forces you to show where you're declaring the value, and where you're just reassigning it via =. Absolutely love this syntax.
Yeah, but if I recall, the syntax made it redundant anyway, since Pascal wouldn't accept assignments in the middle of a logic evaluation, for instance, would it?
I work as a staff software engineer at a med tec company. We are mainly programming in C++ but my background is also a functional one (Haskell, OCaml).

In C an assignment is an expression and thus it is allowed to be included into other expressions.
In Pascal though you never had trouble with this:
