If your home planet is Earth then Pascal programmers are the aliens :)

Yep. Stubborn are people who vehemently (and annoyingly) advocate DOS and/or
OS2 and Pascal. I can tell they're trapped in a time warp and are invariably in
their mid 40s. Time is running out for them. MUAhaha <evil laugh>.

People don't use Pascal for any serious programming, and before a debate about
that happens I will ask how many kernels, Operating Systems, low level device
drivers and embedded devices are written in Pascal compared to C/C++ :)

Pascal is suited as a teaching language, and even then I wouldn't recommend it.
