Great write-up Andrew. Having G-Pascal being developed locally would have been interesting, another example of software companies starting in Melbourne, just like Beam. Turbo Pascal was the second compiler [0] I used at uni. The stand out feature of TP was the tight integration of editor to compiler and debugger. It just made things faster to code than punching cards or remembering Edlin commands over VT100. [0] First, FORTRAN.
