Wow I wrote a lot of Pascal when I was a kid. I then did a bit of C but didn't like it much, and moved onto Delphi.
It hadn't occurred to me that Pascal is actually younger than me, though not by much.
- mschaef 3y agoThe interesting thing about Turbo Pascal is that by the time it was TP6 it was just about as expressive as C itself. (Evidenced by the fact Turbo Pascal for Windows could easily interoperate with the heavily C-based Win16 API).
- anta40 3y agoI also learnt Turbo Pascal before Turbo C (in high school days: 2001-2004). Eventually I knew C had a major selling point: Linux/Unix. Pascal? Limited interest among system/OS kernel programmer nowadays. Still a fine language for building applications, though.
