Perhaps the nicest (in the sense of clean) thing about PASCAL
is the way it bifurcates the universe of objects into pointers
and pointees.  It is thus easier to debug monster programs
with monster data structures than is the case with C.  Actually,
all PASCAL needs to be a superior systems language to C is a
casting operator, assuming the compiler knows how to optimize
programming constructs like sequential array references.
I can do without the demented precedence of logical operators,
though.
