Yes, Turbo Pascal was one of the most underrated languages ever. Blisteringly fast to run and way faster than C to compile. Clean simple language, native strings (yay!), no need to worry about memory management, pointers etc. Built some pretty good stuff with Delphi, and I think sometimes that there's many cases where Delphi 7 is still one of the most productive desktop development packages of all time, even when compared to the latest Visual Studio. and to those who doubt me - well, I like my rose tinted glasses, and I'm keeping them on :P
