I tried to use Pascal and Modula 2 for non-trivial programming in the '80s and they were non-starters. I couldn't even write code that would reliably do I/O on two different compilers on the same computer. It was easier to write cross-platform code in Fortran. That's why the original Software Tools book was revolutionary and Software Tools in Pascal was completely pointless.
