What (computer) languages do you know ?

Have you ever tried to learn Pascal or a similar styled language ?
The way you do things in those languages is rather different from the way
you do things in C.

I can and do write code in C and other C style languages just fine; but
at the same time I do like the language syntax and semantics found in
languages like Pascal and other Wirth style languages.

The Wikipedia page in case you are unfamiliar with Pascal:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pascal_%28programming_language%29

There are some code examples about half way down the page.

Simon.
