Yep. I learned Pascal in high school, but when I got my first Mac in college and needed to write apps for it, I fumbled with Symantec's Think Pascal for a while and ditched it for Think C in short order, even though I was still learning C at the time (and managed to completely corrupt my hard drive requiring a full reinstall because I used the low-level I/O APIs incorrectly).
You can do a lot in Pascal, and Delphi was an outstanding development environment for Windows app, but C is just so much more powerful.
- Ingaz 4y agoFor me it was the other way: I learned programming in C and I loved and that's it's "the bestest" But my first work was in Delphi. I've grown a lot as a programmer exploring VCL, professional tools but I still thought that C and C++ are superior. My second work was in C. I was happy. But then .. I started to see that not everything so beatyful. It was like meeting with a girl you had a crush as teenager but now .. she's just normal
