Re: not Cool
Yes, Pascal was a "language for students" to learn programming.
It wasn't C/C++ and it wasn't VisualBasic, it sort of sat in a bit of a noman's land, it was a well defined academic language, but "real" programmers used C or C++, if they weren't quiche munching beardies and for corporate quick and dirty prototyping, Visual Basic was quicker to get into and, as was pointed out, integrated well with Office.
