Freelance software developer Tim Coates has written a short post about how Pascal remains a valuable and usable language [wordpress.com].

Special Note: When I mention Pascal, I’m including versions like Delphi, Free Pascal, Lazarus, and others that have developed over the years. And regardless of which version you use, these variations of Pascal each bring something unique to the table. Together, they keep Pascal relevant and versatile, offering a range of tools for both new and experienced developers.

Pascal was initially started back in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth.
