Apple used Pascal up until the System 7 era anyway, C was just one of many choices of the time.
If we didn't have C, we'd probably have eliminated things like buffer overflows and out of bounds memory accesses decades ago.
Oh wow I didn't realize Pascal was even older than C, thought it showed up in like mid-70s or early 80s. To be fair I've ever only interacted with Delphi, not OG Pascal.
While I don't necessarily like C, I am happy for C-style syntax over Pascal-style, which I've also worked with. Give me braces over begin and end any day of the week.
