Why have their never been any successful Pascal dirivitive languages?
Because pascal is perfect. Why change a perfect language ?
It's not needed. Pascal is a designed language by engineers, so it
has a slow study of the problem; try, error and prune errors of the
design, and at last, a programming language. C is done by patching,
someone (K&R) did a fast language to patch a need, then other patch
the patch, when a new feature is needed, it's patched, over and over
and over, by different people. It's like building a house, first the
idea, then the planes, then masons, electricity, plumbs etc... Now
the C way, a mason builds a wall, opther a plumb, other the plan,
other thinks that a door from upper plan to down plan is a good
design, other thing that an open window in the chimeney is better... and so on.
