I totally agree that available libraries like the above are what attract 
(or keep existing) users to Pascal, not some minor syntactical  sugar.
E.g.
   people new to AI will learn python just because there are ready 
libraries in AI callable by python.
   People new to statistics will learn R just because there are ready 
libraries of statistics in R.
   People new to iOS will learn swift because it allows them easily call 
all the libraries of iOS, not because swift is better than Pascal or Java.

It is about convenience.
