general

nature: procedural language

history: Pascal (named for French religious fanatic and mathematician Blaise Pascal) was created in 1970 by Niklaus Wirth on a CDC 6000-series computer. Work started in 1968. Pascla intended as a teaching language to replace BASIC. Programs compiled to an intermediate P-code, that is platform independent.

“The computer language Pascal was developed between 1968 and 1971, from ALGOL. It was named for the French mathematician Blaise Pascal. Its highly-structured nature makes it especially well-suited for developing algorithms.” —Language Finger, Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library, University of Montana.
