Lua, Go, and Nim have some Pascal roots, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generational_list_of_programmi...

Though Borland had some commercial success, I remember Pascal mainly as a teaching language.

Odin borrows from Pascal as well.

Julia is also heavily influenced by Pascal syntax.

Can't believe I forgot PL/SQL, as I used that heavily for years.

Ada also was widely used in aerospace/military applications, though not sure it's still used for anything new today.
