Rumors of pascal's demise are greatly exaggerated. I still end up doing an awful lot of coding/maintaining in object pascal. A royal ton of old process management and accounting systems seem to run on it. There was this little patch of time starting in the mid 80s and extending all the way through the 90's where it seems like a lot of stuff was done in pascal.

Just when I think I can finally ditch that windows 2000 VM with Delphi 7 on it, another project dinosaur comes stomping out of the mist.
