These languages are hard to learn, Nothing personal, but you must be seriously retarded if you find _Pascal_ hard to learn. It's a teaching language for programming neophytes! What's more likely is not that you are retarded, but that you have never tried learning Pascal or writing a program in it. It's even more likely that you are too young to remember Pascal. >have zero applications, and people who only know these languages can The TeX document processing system was written in Pascal. Ada is used in all kinds of embedded systems and military applications.
