Pascal was designed by Niklaus Wirth as a clean, teachable language that enforced structured programming. It was the dominant language in computer science education through the 1980s and early 1990s. Free Pascal and Lazarus keep it alive as a cross-platform compiled language; Delphi (Object Pascal) is Pascal’s commercial descendant still in active use.
