Pascal evolved into Modula-2, which Wirth then simplified into Oberon. His student Griesemer did his dissertation on extending Oberon for parallel programming on supercomputers. Concurrently, Pike found Modula-2 an inspiration for some languages he wrote in the 80s and 90s. He got together with Griesemer and Ken Thompson to rework one of those languages, Newsqueak, into Golang. So that's where Pascal is today.
