He favours simpicity in programming language design[2], perhaps just a little too much for [some programmers' comfort |http://www.moorecad.com/standardpascal/notpascal.html]. It's said that [Modula2] would be everyone's favorite programming language if it only had one more feature, but no one agrees on what that feature should be.
