yes, that’s exactly why. Programers got sick of wasting time typing redundant 
characters so they attacked the problem at the root. It’s so intuitive that 
basically all languages have adopted the syntax. I’m not saying you should but 
it’s going to  hurt Pascal if we ignore these kinds of trends.

Roflol... yeah... people do not use Pascal because they have to type:
i := i + 1;

Sure.

Thanks for the laugh, though. But completely off-topic. I shouldn't have responded.
