       Looking at Pascal for the first time in 35 years and it seems very good.

       @tpolecat A full IntelliJ style graphical IDE, a VB-like GUI builder, a build tool, the standard library and the Free Pascal compiler bootstrap in about 6 minutes. It's really quite amazing.

       @tpolecat @deech One thing I couldn't master in Pascal was Turbo Vision. This was a GUI toolkit for text mode in which the IDE itself was built. It was very OOP and quite terrible 😆I ended up starting my own GUI library, managed to draw some triangles with titles, and to move them around with the mouse, then got bored.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbo_Vision
