RIP Niklaus Wirth. I used Pascal as a hobby before learning C and C++ and liked it, but not as much as C/C++. Years later, I was doing C++ work in an environment where there were some Delphi programmers. They showed me how it worked and was different to Pascal -- I was impressed. Then he said, "Watch this. I'm going to compile." He hit the compile button and before his hand had lifted from the kbd it was done. Holy sh*t! When I did a compile I could make a cup of coffee before it finished. Delphi used modules or similar, like modules and interfaces in Modula-2, a language I knew too much about, so when you hit compile it would know exactly what it needed to compile and what not to. Change a header file but not the source it referred to, then just compile the header. Brilliant.

I had been programming since age five when my parents bought me a Commodore 64 back in 1982 for my birthday, and learned to read through sheer force of will to be able to learn how to program. So much BASIC and QuickBasic along with some C and C++ until I got to university, learned Pascal, C++ more formally, and Prolog. Now I mostly do functional programming in Kotlin and Scala, or program in Python, but I had a lot of fond memories for Pascal. The syntax was a little verbose but it was a powerful language and great for teaching difficult concepts incrementally: much better than Java where you have to master things like the class and static keywords without knowing what they actually mean in order just to write hello world.

@@hayden.A0 I think in some ways, it's harder for people these days to get into programming at a young age because you have to decide that you want to, figure out how to install a compiler or interpreter and which one, and then try to figure out the next steps, which isn't easy. Of course, in the 80s, it was far less common to have a computer, but if you were lucky enough to have one, you basically had to know how to program it - at least on a basic (pun not intended) level - because just to run software often required it. LOL then again, way too much of my brain is still occupied by Commodore 64 memory locations since to do many things, you had to write directly to a memory location, e.g. POKE 53280,0 to turn the screen frame black and POKE 53281,1 ti turn the background white. 😅

One cool features was that it allowed to created subtypes of existing types, i.e. you could define a new range of integers including only 0 to 42. In debug builds (for example when running test benches) it will crash the program on over- or underflows of your custom type. When the program runs correctly it will give you a minor optimization because you can just leave out any range checking and you also intrinsically documented the allowed value ranges directly in the code without additional comments.

Pascal was the first language we studied at university back in the days. With OOP support later in Delphi, I think it's quite modern and powerful, popularity decline can be explained by mostly lack of commercial hype. Still usable even in these days. R.I.P. Niklaus Wirth.

Ha. That's actually the first programming language I've ever "worked" with. We didn't have proper equipment at my school for real IT-education, but there was a voluntary work group where you could either learn something about electronics or about computers. I don't know what exactly they did in the electronics section (they had some boards where they could plug-in different elements like lights and switches), but in the computers section we had two old computers to play around with. I think they were both i386s and already very old. One team was programming wit Turbo Pascal on the one PC, while the other team was trying to get the other computer to start. I've had a lot of fun there, but I didn't want to get into programming after that. It took me six years after that school to realize that software development isn't so bad after all and now I'm a senior software developer. Thanks for reminding me about this, Jeff! :)

I went to high school in 2010 and Pascal was still being used in computer class to teach programming. We had a really outdated syllabus...

In Hong Kong, Pascal in highschool is a very popular language to teach due to its simple and straight forward syntax compared to other options i.e. Java and C. My coding journey basically starts from here, learning all the basic things from variable, functions to bubble sort etc. After getting into college, of course I found out there is nearly no one except us using this language so there is very limited use case of it, but the days writting Pascal is some of the happiest time in my coding journey.

Hehe same here in Romania back in the 90s - 2000s but I think they switched to C recently. Pitty, Pascal is in my opinion way better for beginners than C/C++ (too low-level, too concise even) and Basic (not low-level enough, as verbose as Pascal).

Same... interestingly my highschool taught us Visual Basic in form 2-3, and I almost dropped programming because of how horrible it was. Pascal (form 4-6) encouraged me to study Computer Science to this day :)

I learned to code in Delphi Pascal and feel like it set me up to learn multiple languages like python and JavaScript/typescript as pascal forces you to use the right syntax. It can be really powerful too, I remember playing with some epos hardware I got from a store that closed down and you could just inject the dlls from the drivers and use them in your code

i remember pascal was quite difficult back when i was in college.. now, 7 years later, i've been a web developer for 4 years now, and looking back, the syntax is actually quite good! very readable, and very similar to TS which i am used to
@xr114011 ай бұрын
You do realize that TS is similar in syntax to Pascal and not the other way around, right?

I used Borland Delphi 7 for years. I have a copy of it. The single file installer is around 50 ish megabytes, but after installation takes up 400 some megabytes. That's a really good compression ratio, and it is a cracked copy that you do not have to activate or register a.k.a. pay for.

Wow, what a trip down memory lane, I loved turbo pascal,moved the clipper afterwards coz TP didn't have ready way to create a database, so was my start to being a software developer of over 30 years. Whoop whoop.... Thanks for the nostalgia... ❤

I worked all summer to buy a Pascal compiler for about 300 hundred dollars for my KayPro CP/M suitcase computer. A couple months later, Turbo Pascal came out for just 49 bucks. This timing turned out to be the story of my life.

Technically I started with basic (just rewriting the code from magazine pages)... but started properly with Pascal (Turbo pascal) and spent 4 years with it in my teens. I loved it... slowly migrated to Delphi after ... and then to the web with php... but sstill miss it, my first love... even thought is is 30 years later

The first three programming languages I learned - DOS Batch Programing (if you can really call it programming), BASIC (I learned QBASIC and GW-BASIC), and Pascal, which I learned in High School. I have fond memories of learning Pascal, even if I haven't really used it since then.
