Pascal is like an improved PL/I, Ada is an improved Pascal.
I would rather say that Pascal is a very inferior copy of PL/I.
I would have to humbly disagree. Pascals type system alone is far
superior. I learned Pascal at school and never used it again. I
programmed in PL/I
professionally and IMO Pascal is a far cleaner language with more
expressive features. Pascals successors, such as Module/2 and Delphi,
widen the gap
even more. Wouldn't it be nice to have a dynamic string type in PL/I?
