C bites / programming style

[DHowell.ES at Xerox.ARPA]

Personally, I don't really like the {} braces of C, nor the "begin..end"
of Pascal and its relatives.  This is one thing that Ada has going for
it with its "if..then..endif" style.

I like to use these definitions:

#define IF if(
#define THEN ){
#define ELSE }else{
#define ENDIF }

Then I can write

...
IF condition THEN
  statement_1
ELSE
  statement_2
ENDIF
...

Which I think is much cleaner than anything using braces or begin..end.
(Gee, I should write my own language)
