I think Pascal's sun set because Borland killed it with Delphi. In my opinion, Borland was the 300lbs gorilla in the Pascal compiler arena, so when Borland decided to move push Delphi over Pascal, there was no interest in filling the Pascal hole. btw I wrote commercial products on Pascal that I thought was neat. A chat program that used IPX/SPX, a a fax server using DesqView, and MS Mail queues both inbound and outbound, reverse delta databases that stored all changes at field level, overcame the 640K memory barrier by using a TSR that swapped the data in/out on demand, and a proto-PXE server using my insanely fast copy program over IPX. That was the good old times.
