[A very late answer ...]

Hello,

the University at Karlsruhe switched this year from Pascal to Modula2 for their
introductory CS courses. 2 years ago, Pascal was the only language the students
had to learn. Of course, they have the opportunity to use C, Ada, Prolog, PL1,
Lisp and many others. Since two years they also have to learn Lisp during their
4th semester.

Personally, I prefer Pascal and therefore I hope it will survive.

But, when will Fortran and Cobol go away?
I fear 65 to 70% are using it.

Regards, Elmar
