[Oberon] Where's Coco's 'hello world' ?

[Jorg Straube]

Hi

Normally, Wirth lives according to "Make it as
simple as possible but not simpler".

Look at this syntax:
a) IF Cond THEN Statments END;
b) WHILE Cond DO Statments END;

Sometimes during debugging algorithms I find
myself in the position to start with an IF and
change it later to a WHILE! (Don't know, if
I'm the only one with such an approach...)

So, I have to change the "IF" into a "WHILE"
AND THE "THEN" INTO A "DO"!!

I always was wondering why he did not propose
this syntax:
a) IF Cond DO Statements END;

Just my thoughts :-)
