"it was always a thing in the one most of us care about". Why the coy
reference? What language is that, that I'm supposed to care about?
"a major smell in the pascal language" - nope. A minor smell. at best.

Every modern language has inline variabler declarations because it was always a
thing in the one most of us care about.
Not having inline variables means that our strongly typed language Pascal
doesn't have as precise a scoping of variables as possible, preventing read
access before initialization, which is a major smell in the pascal language and
compiler designs.
