Sticks and stones!!
I cut my teeth on Pascal and Modula-2 decades ago. You can't polish a turd.
In all seriousness, I'm sure that the most glaring flaws have been fixed in the Pascal-derivative languages. They must have, or nobody would bother using them. At the time (1980s), Pascal was used in education as a teaching language. In retrospect, it should have been used as an example of how not to do things. I've often wondered what Wirth was smoking.
