Not entirely sure why people are downvoting your perspective. There are at least two object lineages for Pascal: one leading to Oberon and the other to Delphi.

Not entirely sure why people are downvoting your perspective. There are at least two object lineages for Pascal: one leading to Oberon and the other to Delphi. Both to semi-obscurity, but there is a lot to like in the Pascal language family in my opinion. Personally I find the syntax to be simple and attractive. Even though I spend a lot of time writing C-style languages, I don't have any trouble reading Pascal-style syntax. My complaints about Ada and VHDL, which seem to have Pascal-inspired syntax, are they they feel a bit verbose compared to C++ and Verilog. On the other hand, Ada supports concurrency and memory safety, and has packages for dimensional analysis of physical units, and VHDL supports pluggable implementations.
