My programming experience, that which was actually used for anything, was deeply embedded in the hardware, it was assembly/machine or C. One stint with a VLIW machine, for, somethingorother. Pascal was like C with a stuck capslock key ..
But I never cared for the 'OO' stuff -- management made us take ADA classes and shit. And the Pascal vendors came out with 'OO' Pascal, and C with C++. So we used it, sometimes. I worked on an embedded telecomm project in the '90s, it was in C. But don't think I did much useful work after '93 or so...
