> But Pascal is not only old, it is antiquated. You mean it is tried and tested and stable? Pascal has continued to evolve just as its counterpart C does today (it's actually a branding problem that makes people think Pascal hasn't evolved at all - there has been upgrades made to Pascal, which were released under different names that has resulted in this misunderstanding). It still remains one of the few languages that can match the performance of C (or even outperform it) while feeling simpler than C.
