<Li> Modula / - 2 / - 3 </Li> <Li> Oberon / - 2 </Li> <P> Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language, which Niklaus Wirth designed in 1968--69 and published in 1970, as a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring . It is named in honor of the French mathematician, philosopher and physicist Blaise Pascal . </P> <P> Pascal was developed on the pattern of the ALGOL 60 language . Wirth had already developed several improvements to this language as part of the ALGOL X proposals, but these were not accepted and Pascal was developed separately and released in 1970 . A derivative known as Object Pascal designed for object - oriented programming was developed in 1985; this was used by Apple Computer and Borland in the late 1980s and later developed into Delphi on the Microsoft Windows platform . Extensions to the Pascal concepts led to the Pascal - like languages Modula - 2 and Oberon . </P>
