(With apologies to Antonio because I'll likely be out of sequence since I'm 
replying to the Digest...)

I recall a sentiment that went something like:

"Any language where
   if ( x=y ) ...
 does not mean 'if x is equal to y', does not deserve to be called
 a programming language."

I think the sentiment came to me from Paul Conte, though his original wording 
might have been far different.
