I wouldn't really group Pascal and Haskell together (unless we're playing rhyming games).
One of those had serious market penetration, a whole industry behind it and was one of the dominant choices for applications languages ... for maybe two full decades (including Turbo Pascal all the way through to Delphi).
I mean, right now, Delphi is still orders of magnitudes more popular and in use than Haskell, which is used by .... pandoc, maybe?
