> I would posit that very little greenfield development is happening in Pascal This is a very good example of the importance of the power of branding - Pascal has actually continued to evolve over the past 50+ years, and even has a few ISO standards, but most don't know about it because of the name changes: Pascal -> Clascal (Pascal with object oriented extensions) -> Object Pascal (more OOP extensions) Clascal and Object Pascal were developed in consultation with the original developer of Pascal, Niklaus Emil Wirth, and Object Pascal enjoyed considerable commercial success with Apple, Microsoft and Borland. Niklaus Wirth however has a bad habit of changing the name of every evolution of Pascal he himself works on, and so we have: Pascal -> Modula / Modula 2 -> Oberon (with extensions we also have Oberon 02 and Active Oberon) Oberon is powerful even for system programming, and the creator himself used it to create a new OS with same name as the programming language (yet again showcasing that he has no concept of branding and marketing) - http://www.projectoberon.com/ http://www.projectoberon.com/ .
