My career took me to C-like languages and scripting environments like Ruby or Python. And (love it or hate it) most of the world thinks in JS nowadays. Some aspects of Pascal are really strange or awkward to me, like the rules for whether or not a statement in an `if` block needs to be surrounded by `begin`/`end`, or where the semicolons go in a particularly complicated, nested instance of said `if`.
But I am not a master Pascal programmer by any means. You sound like an expert.
- Qem 4y agoOddly I can't remember any wirthian scripting language, like Ruby or Python. Was Wirth biased against dynamic languages?
- webmobdev 4y agoI don't think so - his focus was always on making compilation fast and the language simpler and easier. See Oberon (the latest language he created) - it's probably even simpler than Ruby or Python.
- FpUser 4y ago>"most of the world thinks in JS nowadays" I think in terms of fair amount of languages (including JS) so I do not get hung up on any particular one. My business is product development from scratch. I do it for clients or my own company. Because of that I could not care less about what "most of the world" prefers. I use what I think is most suitable given constraints for each particular project.
