You discussed Borland Pascal, which was marketed as "Delphi". You may be interested to know that it lives on, well sort of, in the Lazarus IDE which is backwardly compatible with Delphi code. It's still under very active development. Take at look at their website.

I believe the default language on VAX hardware - in as much as there was one - was Fortran rather than Pascal. I rather enjoyed my years using VAX clusters. They were rock solid reliable in my experience, and I'll never forget the bookcases full of those huge orange folders containing the printed manuals.
