Someone told me TurboPascal was actually Modula-2 just named "Pascal" for marketing. Where they wrong?

- mannschott 8y agoYes. Most obviously Modula-2 is is case-sensitive, while (Turbo)Pascal is not. Also Modula-2 addresses the danging-else problem in Pascal, while TurboPascal does not. It wouldn't surprise me if TurboPascal addressed some of the same deficiencies in Pascal that Wirth also addressed in Modula-2, but they probably do so differently.
- pjc50 8y agoNo, it was definitely Pascal. There's certainly quite a lot of stylistic crossover between the two languages but they are distinct.
