Is this example really relevant today? Who cares if you write while(dest++ = src++) or for (int i = 0; i < src.length; i++) { dest[i] = src[i] }; Was he just worried that the number of keywords and programming concepts were to many and made the language to complex? He would loath C++ then... Still, we seem to get by.
