Category Pascal

Pascal-descendant languages and Pascal-like languages (Pascal Language)

Pascal has numerous rather direct descendants:

Concurrent Pascal (1975).

Modula (Modula One a.k.a. Modula Language a.k.a. Category Modula): another of the Wirth Languages (1975).

UCSD Pascal (Ucsd Pascal): U.C. San Diego (ca. 1977), then Sof Tech Micro Systems.

Euclid (1978).

Pascal* ("Pascal-star"): Stanford University (circa 1980).

Modula 2 (Modula Two): yet another of the Wirth Languages (1982).

Pascal Plus (1984).

Modula 3 (Modula Three)

Oberon (Oberon Language)


There is a separate category for Algol-descendant languages and Algol-like languages (Category Algol), for programming languages whose relationship to Pascal is not documented or not convincing.


(Wirth's woebegone wizard! There was already a separate category for the newfangled "C#", but not for "Pascal-like" languages, whose history extends back more than 30 years!?) -- Clay Phipps
