Turbo Pascal is pretty much at the same "level" as C with slightly more stronger typing and a few extra bells and whistles, but things that cause people to be afraid of C, like pointers and manual memory management, are still there.
- pjmlp 7y agoYeah, I commented on purpose, because that is what people should learn, pointers and manual memory management concepts, the language to learn them should be secondary. Those that learn to abstract concepts from how they get expressed on the language of the jour, are better prepared for change in this fashion industry. I also never understood what it means being afraid of programming languages.
