Before Pascal there was Algol-W, which Wirth invented as a rebellion
against how complicated Algol 68 was becoming.

Pascal was intended as a teaching language, and as such it was lacking
in practicality in a few spots. But it didn't need much tweaking to
make it a very useful language. UCSD Pascal, Turbo Pascal, Delphi, etc.
enjoyed a lot of popularity. A variant of UCSD was the main language
for Macintosh application development for a number of years.
