>An accurate analysis of the fall of Pascal would be longer than the rest of this essay.

I put the blame solely on the management of Borland. They had the world leading language, and went off onto C++ and search of "Enterprise" instead of just riding the wave.

When Anders gave the world C#, I knew it was game over for Pascal, and also Windows native code. We'd all have to get used to waiting for compiles again.
