Egad, VB should be put out to pasture.

I was a little excited about it in the mid-90s, until I learned that error handling required a GOTO statement (!!!). Hopefully, that is no longer the case.

But there are better (afaik) implementations, like [Gambas], which is #FOSS (GPL).

There's also the [Lazarus IDE] for a FOSS equivalent to Borland Delphi (Visual Object Pascal, basically).

I'm sad nobody teaches #Pascal, anymore. It was the default teaching language for basically all of the 90s. It's not super powerful, or super fast, but it's decent on both counts, and fairly pretty.

Trying to port Mario & Luigi (1994) by Wiering Software from Turbo #Pascal to #FreePascal trunk (i8086), ofc on #DOS: wieringsoftware.nl/mario

Posted on forum.lazarus.freepascal.org/i but got nowhere

I can build it on FPC, but can’t run. Removing call to ReadConfig shows gfx issues and input gets messed. I can’t find a way to debug the realmode properly

May I ask heroes from my feed for some helping hand? @foone @wyatt @root42 @nina_kali_nina

Perhaps I should take some bigger examples of my private programming history. Those are often similar or better than my professional projects using these languages. And then AI should rate #style, #readability and #maintainability, perhaps room for optimization without loosing these criteria. The languages here would be #pascal, #perl, #python, #java, #smalltalk, #erlang and #golang. Should be interesting. And beside the different languages I would expect a reflection of my personal experience.

Heute gelernt: Obwohl beispielsweise im Smalltalk Buch von Strahringer und Kaufmann behauptet wird nil stünde „Not In List“, gilt als gesichert, dass die Angabe im bekannten Buch von Abelson und Sussman, es handele sich um eine Kontraktion von „nihil“ (lat. nichts), die korrekte Herleitung ist. #TIL #Scheme #Smalltalk #Oberon #Pascal
