Pascal pays huge price for its simplicity in terms of lack of locality.
That is, the price is paid by users of Pascal, rather than by language
itself.
There are many other languages that have both nested functions and
locality (i.e. allow declaration of variable at block or scope), but I
find understanding of code written in this languages (my experience is
mostly with Ada) way too hard.
As a code reader, I very much prefer C, where nested function are not
allowed at all. May be, I would like BCPL, where nested functions are
allowed, but have no access to variables defined at outer scope, even
better than C, but I never had an opportunity to use BCPL.
Classic C++, where you can fake BCPL-style nested functions by static
member functions of locally-defined classes is not bad,
functionality-wise, but as is often a case with Classic C++, is ugly
syntactically.
Modern C++, with lambdas and captures, has the same or worse readability
and comprehensibility problems that I disliked in the past with Ada.
