Being a very long time Delphi and FreePascal user with tens of thousands of lines of code in active use today, I never understood why pascal wasn't running way out front of Go, Rust, Java and all these other performant languages. It's so straight forward and such a pleasure to work with.

Because Turbo Pascal/Delphi was the ideal Pascal dialect (after Apple's Object Pascal) and Borland screwed it up.
If Borland had kept their indies demographic, hadn't made their half-backed attempt to Linux with Kylix, the history would most likely played in a different direction.
