   I do also. TV was first written in Pascal.

   Old MAC ROMs were written in Pascal, Windows API uses a Pascal calling   
   convention, OWL (the "components" (mostly graphical) part of C++Builder)   
   is written in Pascal (when you debug such a program, you can go deep into   
   OWL (the source code is given) and find yourself single-stepping Pascal   
   code).   
      
   C is good, but without proper coding rules, you'll only achieve buggy   
   programs. With Pascal, your program either doesn't compile, compiles and   
   doesn't work, or compiles and works, but correctly. ;)
