OT:
Turbo Pascal was just genius, really!
Esp. the lightspeed compile times, and that you could create a redist exe-file to copy your "highly sophisticated games" to your friends and show them, how cool it is :-))
Good ol times!
That was true even into the Delphi days. Around 2007 I was able to compile about 400,000 lines of code in 2-3 seconds on my desktop.
For sure! Delphi is the successor of Turbo Pascal, it came with the same features built-in! :-)
