Wow, long time since I have last read Pascal code. Makes me wonder if there any Pascal code still in use somewhere.

- dchest 16y agoOn the Mac, Interarchy FTP client still seem to have Pascal code, according to this 2007 interview http://daringfireball.net/2007/02/interarchy_interview http://daringfireball.net/2007/02/interarchy_interview
- callahad 16y agoMy previous employer still has actively maintained PL/I in production. Anything is possible in the bowels of Corporate America.
- igrekel 16y agoYes, I've seen Cobol, APL too... but pascal was not so much a language for business applications, except in delphi I guess.
- neovive 16y agoThere is definitely quite a bit of Cobol around on mainframes powering many mission-critical applications. Replacement of these old systems generates huge revenues for companies like Oracle/Peoplesoft and SAP. Pascal was a great learning language. Probably second to BASIC, but much better as a precursor to learning C.
- nor-and-or-not 16y agoSure. For example there's BESEN, which is a complete implementation of the ECMAScript 5th edition standard. Programmed by a single person in Object Pascal. http://besen.sourceforge.net/ http://besen.sourceforge.net/
