Any language can do that.

Forth can be a nightmare. Or Perl. Or your beloved Rust.

You hipsters must stop talking bullshit and getting your facts better, because you keep parroting the same stuff without understanding that you have the same exact issues on modern languages.

Don't even let me start on Java on that issues, because I've seen ridiculous structures all over the code.

I don't know Forth, Perl, or even Rust enough to discuss them on that basis, but having other languages allowing it doesn't mean that C should be lenient about it either, or does it?

Now, don't get me wrong, I do not dislike C, I've practiced it a lot, and I come back to it from time to time when I need to. But I would rather use a language where many of these forms are forbidden for readability and maintainability.
