I worked in Pascal for about 6 years and loved it. Switching from
any language your used to can be painful. But after learning several
you will begin to see each languages strength and weakness.

Both Logo and Pascal have many Strengths and Weaknesses.

All I'm saying is to keep an open mind and don't look at strict
type checking as problem but as a benefit.

If you started in Pascal and moved to Logo you would also
have new "issues" to deal with.

Just for your information:

Modula-2 is a follow on to Pascal.

Borlands Delphi is an Object Oriented Pascal which does incremental
compiles on the fly.
