Without doing the research before asking, there was the UCSD p-System

It was not very popular. The SAGE II that had native Pascal (68000) was
not a popular machine. Waterloo Pascal on the SuperPet....Pascal never
really made it on the microcomputer platform did it?
I can't quote numbers, but Borland's Turbo Pascal was quite popular on
both CP/M machines and IBM PC and clones.
It was a juggernaut until a pack of drooling morons wielding MBAs got
their claws into Borland.
