Is Pascal still being used?

Question

I think Pascal is old, but there are some places that uses pascal for basic learning programming like in my country.
So if it's old then why don't those places just move on to a more popular programming language?
Is pascal still being used?

Answer 1

I remember it was used at my high school for teaching kids. It was the only place.

Answer 2

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_(programming_language) I would say it’s becoming less popular, but places such as banks still use this langauge a lot. I don’t think it’ll be completely gone any time soon.

Answer 3

Pascal is very old language
you don't need to learn , but I suggest you to learn C rather than Pascal
because C is still being used in Operating System , Compiler and Interpreters as well as for drivers

Answer 4

fortran is older, but still in use.

Answer 5

In some universities and colleges of Ukraine use Pascal for first acquaintance with programming. Cause it's easy to understanding and study.

I hope my place could soon move on to pascal and began learning with a more popular and demanded language

depends on what you mean by pascal. delphi is still on place 19 on the tiobe index. it was on place 13 so its falling fast, but there is still a lot of legacy code around so it will not die any time soon

Answer 9

one quite nice python ide uses it o_O

Answer 10

It cannot have died.The supported

and Pascal.But Pascal is not popular because—the code of it is too long and not easy to be understood.

Answer 11

it's still in use but it's just no longer popular

Answer 12

Por supuesto que debe ser reemplazado por algo más moderno y que enseñe a programar según los paradigmas actuales y no los de hace 40 años.

Answer 13

As long as I can remember, Pascal has not just completely died

Answer 14

Answer 15

A computer competition in some countries,mostly in China(sorry for mentioning something you don’t know)

Answer 16

The old Pascal is indeed dead already. Nobody uses Pascal of 80's or 70's. Remember Turbo Pascal? It's all dead.

But modern (object) Pascal language is still alive and kicking well. Today's modern Pascal can do whatever other modern languages are able to do such as programming for web, mobile, AI, IoT, etc. It's just not too popular in most part of the world, though it's still quite popular in some countries especially in Asia, Rusia, and east Europe.

We got about 5 flavors of modern Pascal today, read about them here: https://pak.lebah.web.id/pascal5.html
