Much of Pascal (or, rather, Modula-2 and Oberon) is revived inside Go.

What parts of Pascal do you recognize in Go?

The id type way instead of type id.

The way methods are attached to types appeared first in Oberon-2.

Type assertions are similar to Oberon.

The unsafe package idea is similar to SYSTEM in Oberon or Pascal.

The stronger type semantics forcing explicit casts.
