As a fan of Pascal myself I'd have to challenge your recollection. Pascal
has always been a compiled language, and (if wikipedia can be trusted) was a
self-hosting compiler in mid-1970.
Pascal is still going strong via the Free Pascal project, and Borland (which
is now Embarcadero (sp?)) still has Delphi. I've been a user of the Borland
products since the '80s, and have always though highly of them.
