Do you mean Component Pascal ?

Although it's got Pascal in it's name it's apparently (I've never used
Component Pascal) actually another Oberon derivative. [*]

Oberon-07 and Active Oberon are two other variants which come to mind.

[*] To bring this back on topic, why does something which looks like
Ada have to be called Ada ? Call it something else and get people
using Ada without realising it. :-)
