Semi-aside from the point, I think that we as a community and as pascal programmers need to work on the things like Sly mentioned that make folks think that Pascal is outdated. I don't think it is, and I love using it, so let's cure the perceived issue and improve our favored language.

I also think we need to push for Pascal in schools. It is an excellent language and I have learned much just doing it as a hobby. There is so much you can learn on your own with it, but I think that the perception must be changed for Pascal to be "reaccepted".
