In article <15383.57358.576253.432383@nanonic.hilbert.space> you write:
>Isn't TeX written in pascal?.

Not exactly; TeX is written in a literate programming language that
looks a lot like Pascal, but is not, in fact, Pascal.  Pascal shares
a lot with the other so called Algol-derived languages, particularly
in the area of syntax.
