Line 32: == Past Criticism == While very popular (although more so in the 1980s and early 1990s than at the time of writing), early versions of Pascal have been widely criticised for being unsuitable for "serious" use outside of teaching. [[Brian Kernighan]], co-creator of the [[C programming language]], outlined his most notable criticisms of Pascal as early as 1981, in his paper [http://www.lysator.liu.se/c/bwk-on-pascal.html Why Pascal Is Not My ~~Favourite~~Favorite Programming Language]. Since that time Pascal has continued to evolve and most of his points do not apply to current implementations. Many uninformed people still subscribe to the old belief that Pascal is not for "serious" programming and do not realize the benefits it currently offers. This stigma, more than any actual deficiency, is Pascal's biggest liability.
