Quick look at Pascal language

Another big plus of Pascal is its speed. Pascal compiler is lightning-fast and well-suited for teaching programming, you can do more in small time frame. Also there is less overhead and fewer ways for a new users to crash program. So as a first program language, Pascal its probably best choose. Even when world is filled with C++ and Java languages, Pascal, in his simplicity, is still one of the best programing language: Powerful and easy to handle.
