Pascal may have failed but there's still a lot of Delphi code in use; Delphi is Pascal but a much better Pascal than Wirth's original language.
My job involves working on a large (> 1 million lines of Delphi) code base that is too big to convert to say C#. We've also recently taken over another project which is 1.3 millions LOC of Delphi.
