My memory could be faulty---I mostly remember hacking something and discovering the difference in string handling between Pascal and C. Note that I was referring to the original Macs from the mid 80s.

as they did was that if Pascal is a high level language
Yeah, I remember the conversion to Pascal strings when programming in C too, but most of the part was written in assembler according to the following link.
The original MacOS indeed was done in Pascal. The OS/X project was done in Objective-C.
As an aside... if you have not yet encountered both of these languages, you should definitely make it your business to do so. (Because, well, this sort of know-how is "your business!")
