Why would anybody want to use Pascal?
end;You'll see it in Delphi, anyway, and I'm sure other people still use it. It's unpopular because it is a restrictive language, compared to others.
Jump to PostThe main reason Pascal is looked at like it is useless is because it has always had the image of being only for undergraduate students.
Students would learn Pascal, then "graduate" to "real" languages like C and Fortran when they got to graduate work.

Jump to PostHello,
I found C to be dangerous; C++ had better boundries for me so that I didn't send my pointers off in different and strange directions.
I prefer Pascal when coding, personally. Unfortunately, I don't do much coding anymore.
