With dotnet and mono coming to linux. I was woundering --
Why not pascal?

It seems to not get the attention of c, c++, or mono.
But, It can be compiled for Linux or Windows, maybe OSX?

I'm not a programmer, and was basically wondering why Pascal seems left
out of the debate. Seem to me it would also run faster then VB.net or Mono
since produces compiled programs.

Technical issues I'm not aware of maybe?
I took a programming class in college (Pascal) and thinking of looking
into the language again. I found this:
