I discovered Turbo Pascal in my preteens, after BASIC. Spent a few years with it and got pretty fluent. Interestingly enough, I remember also working on a bulletin board system, called something like WWIV. Now that I think about it, that was a seed planted for my current occupation. Learned C after that, but drifted away from programming (for a decade or so) around when C++ came out. I came back around to computers when I wanted to build myself a static website - and I'm still in the wondrous rabbit hole. These days, much of my time is spent reading and writing TypeScript. How strange after all these years, I'm again speaking a language created by Anders Hejlsberg. It's a joy to work with VS Code editor as an integrated development environment, and I fondly remember my time with Turbo Pascal.
