Technically true, but the point is that arrays were the only collection type in Pascal, whereas Go also has slices (which, in my experience, outnumber arrays 10-1 in most codebases).
- gnuvince 12y agoWhen did Pascal gain dynamic arrays?
- pjmlp 12y agoDepends which Pascal you mean. The Extended Pascal ISO standard which does include dynamic arrays is from 1990. Turbo Pascal and other Pascal dialects also had them.
- pjmlp 12y agoNot true, otherwise Wirth would have had an hard time to write "Algorithms and Data Structures".
