I learned Pascal with Turbo Pascal on CP/M sometime around 1983 or 1984. IMHO it was the best software development environment for that platform. It was full featured, very fast (both compilation and run-time), and very memory efficient. I also had Microsoft CBASIC, Fortran-80, COBOL-80, BDS-C, and many assemblers. Turbo Pascal put them all to shame. The C compilers for CP/M could not even do floating point math. Turbo Pascal had no such limitations.
