How exactly do you teach low level concepts with Pascal?

Low-level depends a lot on the hardware. Mental midgets (good choice of words) can't envision running on more advanced hardware like the iAPX 432 because C causes brain damage. On that kind of hardware, there would be a very different view of what low-level means. There's no such thing as generic ``systems programming''. People are afraid to make anything that can't run C.

Yes, but the C syntax made it more appealing to them.

The C syntax made it more appalling to them. You're assuming most people who learned Java at the university were C programmers or liked C or C++ and that they like them because of the syntax. I think Java turned people off of programming, or at least statically typed compiled (it compiles to bytecode) languages. Why do you think there was this huge explosion in scripting languages? I don't even have a JVM on my computer, but systems tools on GNU/Linux are written in Python.
