Have you ever tryied with Pascal to make some I/O to the ports ?  
To open the serial port, wait until the communications buffer 
is full and read it ?

Pascal is the best language for learning programming.  It's rigid
syntax will force the studend to organized layout and good programming
practice.  

BASIC, on the other hand, has been developed with real-world 
applications in mind and the latest BASICS do compile the code to the
best, optimized native code.  Only someone who knows only Pascal can claim
that it is better
