#84699 - On the other hand...
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Steve M. Taylor said:
with Pascal you get the benefits of legibility and the inability to write obfuscated code.

I once worked on a defence project (way back in the days when Britain had a defence electronics industry) where the language should, officially, have been Ada.
There was no suitable Ada compiler available at the time, so we used Pascal instead on the basis that it was the nearest thing available.
