Actually, C++ is used quite a bit in non-financial businesses
applications.  Other languages such as C are used more, but mainly
because those are older.

PASCAL isn't used much in business for the same reason it makes a great
learning tool.  It places you in a straightjacket, and results in a
slower development cycle.  OTOH, that same straightjacket teaches good
programming techniques that can be applied to virtually any language.
