Pascal is definitely somewhat alive, but way far from its heyday on DOS and Macintosh. For dead languages in the class, Modula-2 is mostly dead and Modula-3 is definitely dead. Forte TOOL is dead.
Pascal has its niceties, especially enabling one-pass compilation and pretty clear code. It's neither overcomplicated like Ada nor relatively unknown like Modula-3.
