This post is a collection of quotes about Pascal (initially released in 1970). There are 3 quotes listed below. License: CC BY-SA 3.0
1. "On top of ALGOL's scalars and arrays, Pascal enables defining complex datatypes and building dynamic and recursive data structures such as lists, trees and graphs... Unlike C (and most languages in the C-family), Pascal allows nested procedure definitions to any level of depth, and also allows most kinds of definitions and declarations inside subroutines (procedures and functions)." (Wikipedia: Pascal (programming language), 1.8.23 UTC 14:44)
2. "A key platform was the Apple II, where it saw widespread use as Apple Pascal. This led to Pascal becoming the primary high-level language used for development in the Apple Lisa, and later, the Macintosh." (Wikipedia: Pascal (programming language), 1.8.23 UTC 14:44)
3. "[Pascal] was displaced by the C programming language during the late 1980s and early 1990s as UNIX-based systems became popular, and especially with the release of C++." (Wikipedia: Pascal (programming language), 1.8.23 UTC 14:44)
