The original MacOS was written in Pascal (both applications and

more than a few short glue routines written in assembler.
Pascal is essentially equivalent to C, except Pascal has a cleaner
syntax. I like the fact that the semicolon is a separator. Also, the
variable declaration syntax is done more smartly in Pascal. And the
pointer/array confusion in C is silly.
I also like the fact that the semicolon is a separator, but, in
practice, misplaced semicolons can cause problems, so languages
descended of Pascal prefer to have explicit terminators.
