@clacke I did just download GNAT because of some #Ada threads. I have never used #Oberon, #Modula-2,#Modula-3 ( or even #Modula-1 ), but I did use #Pascal in the late 1990s.

Back in the 1990s, my youngest uncle kept telling me to learn #COBOL instead of #Java (though at the time, I was taking courses with Microsoft #BASIC ... and later took both COBOL and Java, along with #Pascal, #Visual_Basic, #JavaScript, #Perl, #PHP, and more).

At the time, he was making $100,000+ and taking time off whenever he wanted. I think he made a lot more during the fixes that prevented #Y2K from becoming the expected meltdown, but he then ran into headwinds because foreign programmers were being imported to do the work for a lot less than what he was accustomed to earning, so he retired.

I thought about this back when the lockdowns geared up and state governors were crying about lacking the COBOL programmers to fix their unemployment insurance systems.

I still remembered #GPC ( #GNU #Pascal Compiler) as an active project, but it appears that the last release was 15 years ago. http://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/h-index.html

Another great episode. I'm not neurotypical, and I was a classic "computer nerd" at school. I was into video games, programming (a bit of #BASIC and #Pascal), #SciFi and fantasy, D&D etc. I was a school librarian all through school, and at high school I was part of the nerd crew who hung out in and around the library. I mostly abandoned this around the time I left school, and only came back to hacker culture later via activism, and being involved in projects like #Indymedia.

I liked #Turbo_Pascal 7.0 ... TP7 was understandable, but I never "got" TPW1.5. ( Turbo #Pascal for Windows )
