It's a very elegant pattern match on a deeply nested structure. It's declarative, not imperative, so if you are concerned about "nesting complexity", you need not be.

How would you implement this otherwise?

I honestly don't understand what's going on... but in Pascal I'd use short circuit expression evaluation to make the comparisons as I go into the depths.

There's too many layers of nesting, in too foreign a syntax for me to even parse.

I suspect it could be done a clearer manner in pascal.

I would truly love to see it in pascal. I would be happy to give my opinion on it as a "foreign syntax" to me
