Turbo Pascal was an outlier in 1989 though. The funny thing is that I remember Turbo C++ being an outlier in the opposite direction. In my computer science class (which used Turbo C++), people would try to get there early in order to get one of the two 486 machines, as the compilation times were a huge headache (and this was without STL, which was new at the time).
