Pascal is an imperative and procedural programming language, which Niklaus Wirth designed in 1968–69 and published in 1970, as a small, efficient language intended to encourage good programming practices using structured programming and data structuring. It is named in honor of the French mathematician, philosopher and physicist Blaise Pascal.

And this is where it all began: my first program in college (please forgive the scanning damage and yellowing). It is in Pascal, and run on a DEC Vax-11/780 using VMS.
