Pascal is a lot broader language and won't fit in sub 16KB of ROM (even if you exclude monitor [call-151])

A subset of it?

I have a copy of "Tiny" Pascal by Supersoft from 1979 on a cassette tape which was licensed to Tandy Corp and which would load onto a 16KB TRS-80 Model III and allow a bit of room for programming.

One of the great regrets of my life is that when I was doing so and when it would have mattered, I was unaware of the patch for this which would have allowed it to be saved as an executable to a TRS-DOS disk....

Maybe they could have implemented a useful subset of Pascal.
