Pascal is quite easy to learn - take this for instance:

function foo(bar : Byte) : Byte;
var
  xyz : Byte;
begin
  xyz := 2;

  return (bar * xyz) xor $5A;
end;

And the corresponding C equivalent:

unsigned char foo(unsigned char bar)
{
  unsigned char xyz;

  xyz = 2; 
  return (bar * xyz) ^ 0x5A;
}

I tend to use C more than Pascal, but Pascal is still a very capable (and
simple) language. It's far easier to write a quick-n-simple Pascal
interpreter/compiler than it is to do the same thing with C. You could also
do Pascal-to-C translation if you had to - I think there's a program called
"p2c" that does it.

Later.
