As you see, with creation of Object Pascal the Pascal language is
absolutely finished and there is nothing more to be added to it.
BTW almost the same is the situation with C (besides different
standards), but its popularity is due to many big companies promoting
/ using C.
Borland is one company that provides commercial pascal compilers I
haven't heard of others. Once upon a time Apple have used Pascal to
develop their operating systems.
Compare that with the numerous list of companies selling C/C++
compilers, computer giants like HP, Compaq, IBM, etc... that provide
their own Unix based OS and you will find why C is so popular.
The discussion Pascal vs C, or any other language is obsolete.
Nowadays almost everything can be written in almost every language.
