Programming Languages Are Like Cars If we use cars as an analogues for languages, then BASIC is the family sedan. It's inexpensive, there are lots of models in the range, and the most popular models have all kinds of (previously optional) extras fitted as standard. Ah yes, Pascal. I only ever wrote one major package in Pascal, and would never use it again, if I could avoid it. Pascal is OK for academia, where all the people who will use a program are computer literate, familiar with the operating system, and so on. But in the real world, programs get used by office juniors, managing directors and other people who are completely fazed by error messages and who are liable to type the most improbable input string imaginable. Real-world programs, therefore, have to have extensive input validation, and this turns out to be quite difficult in Pascal, as it is tediously uncooperative in type conversions. The Pascal programmer has thus to resort to all kinds of devious practices to get Pascal to work for him, which defeats the purpose of using the language in the first place. If you have to use sleight of hand so that the compiler can't understand what you're doing, there's a fair chance you can't understand it yourself.
