I doubt Go qualifies as a descendant of Pascal particularly with some of the things said about Pascal by the C / Go creators.

- atombender 6y agoGo is influenced by several languages, and Modula and Oberon are at the top of that list. Robert Griesemer, one of the designers of Go, worked on Oberon at ETH Zürich.
