I still have my circa 1990 copy of borland' turbo pascal!
I started learning that back then in the 80's when it was 'cool'

I remember pascal when it was on the apple ][

I think THAT is when it was actually cool.

Wow I got my start as a codie' on the dreamy Blue background with Yellow text of the old Turbo Pascal GUI! Oooh, I'll have to checky this one out. I wonder how good they are compared to the MS stuff?

Thanks for the info!

Delphi...I've heard of that. That's like JavaScript, right? But less powerful?

*ducks*

Even if you are an experienced programmer at C++.
I choose Delphi over C++ because C languages are quite cryptic, while Delphi is not, but is still quite powerful.
Object Pascal is mostly known as the primary programming language of Borland Delphi, and is a derivative of Pascal. It is also known as the "Delphi programming language" when describing the dialect used by Borland Delphi.
