Oh man, I learned to code in Pascal writing a BBS in the 90s. Back in the 90s, I had the option of taking a BASIC or Pascal course over at the High School next door to my middle school; I opted for the latter, and started studying C shortly thereafter but wrote almost everything in Turbo, later Borland Pascal and ultimately did a few Delphi projects. I think I had to save up for a year to buy a really real license for the development environment (12 years old on a $5/wk allowance with $10/lawn mow ... it took a while). Gotta say, I kind of miss it. Wonder if they ever updated the old `crt` pascal library; I believe it's purpose was to simply allow basic terminal text coloring/features, its name was always a little odd. Folks, today, might not make the connection at all. :)
