Since FPC (Free Pascal Compiler) has been developed on 
Linux, maybe Pascal could have a resurgence.
I used it to port a couple of my programs from (Ughhh!) 
Borland Turbo Pascal for Windows to Linux, and it was a 
surprisingly painless job.  The only thing I notice is the 
error messages look exactly like Borland error messages on 
DOS.  (Error 132 at 1B7F sort of thing.)
