"Oh Pascal" reminded me of a book titled, "Oh! Pascal!" by Doug Cooper. I used it to learn Pascal.
Best programming book I ever read. His later "Condensed Pascal" isn't quite as good -- a little too, well, condensed. Too bad that's the only one I could find to buy after having had to return Oh, Pascal to the city library.
(OK, it's hard to compare; Code Complete and other much later stuff might be just as good. Too many decades between when I read them to say for sure.)
You can, it's called Delphi.
Or Nim [1]. :-) It's hard to describe succinctly, but "Pascal meets Ada meets Python meets Lisp-like syntax macros" starts to convey it. Forget operator overloading trying to square peg-round hole whatever the operator set is - Nim has user-defined operators. And a dozen other nice things.
