I found the development environment extremely elegant, in the true sense of the word: it takes away everything superfluous until only the necessary remains.

- pjmlp 5y agoYou would love Turbo Pascal 3.0, https://olimex.wordpress.com/2013/10/21/turbo-pascal-3-0-running-in-your-browser-javascript-implementation-of-the-legendary-compiler/ https://olimex.wordpress.com/2013/10/21/turbo-pascal-3-0-run...
- FpUser 5y agoFreePascal is way more modern and still has TUI IDE
- pjmlp 5y agoIf that was the point I would have linked the Turbo Pascal 6.0 Turbo Vision based IDE. I linked the TP 3 due to the minimalist remark.
- badsectoracula 5y agoFWIW this isn't really TP3, just a skin over a vaguely TP-like compiler - the first thing i did when i pressed E was to type Ctrl+K D to exit the editor and it just focused Firefox's location bar :-P. Then i noticed it was just a regular textarea editor. But it is indeed a neat minimalistic environment. I used it in a video ~10 years ago to make a simple text based game (i was pretty much improvising the entire thing while i was writing it :-P): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYwHQpvMZTE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYwHQpvMZTE
- pjmlp 5y agoOf course it isn't, I could as well just have mentioned TP 3.0 and leave it there. However I bothered to try to find out something to show to others. TP 3.0 was my first Turbo Pascal, I had floppy with it alongside MS-DOS 3.3, to carry around into highschool computer lab.
