FWIW, Modula-2 and Oberon had quite a following on the Amiga back in the day.

There were whole Public Domain disk collections that only consisted of programs done in those languages. Most notably the AMOK disks (Amiga Modula-2 and Oberon Klub).

I think those languages also didn't catch on was partly because they weren't part of any major OS development standard. On Unix or Linux, C was dominant, for historical and cultural reasons, and on Windows, although there was and is a small but vocal Pascal community, most developers are focused on Microsoft's own programming languages.
