>Borland started out with Pascal, but went to 'C'.

As someone that used all their products before they became Imprise or how it was called, I never saw this happening.

Even nowadays C++ Builder actually uses the Delphi framework.

EDIT: Just wanted to add that in my part of the planet, it was all about Assembly for systems programming, games and real applications. Turbo Pascal for general purpose applications without much performace issues and CLIPPER for the typical CRUD applications.
