@nina_kali_nina pure nostalgia . Learned my first programming on a Danish build Z80 computer #ICL_Comet running CP/M. That was back in 1982, first year in high school. Programming was done in #Comal80, a simplified language inspired by #Pascal.

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.

@thomasfuchs 640K and FDD. Solid though. Wrote a lot of #pascal using #TurboPascal on these beasts.
and with a re-write, compatible with #Mega64 / #TRSE <https://retrogamecoders.com/introduction-to-trse-programming/
The #Lazarus_IDE for #Free_Pascal has been released in version 4.2. This bugfix release has been built with FPC 3.2.2.
I put together most of my retrocomputing bookshelf while learning Intel 8080 and CP/M programming, which reflects in the selection of titles. For more great photos of retrocomputing bookshelfs see:

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

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.
Lovely video from The Serial Port on getting PC based Impulse #bbs software up and running in 2025 <3 :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaYAEtwE8Es
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
Mitte des 17. Jahrhunderts machen die Mathematiker Blaise Pascal und Pierre de Fermat die Zukunft berechenbar, indem sie erstmals mit Wahrscheinlichkeiten rechnen. Ausschlaggebend ist ein abgebrochenes Glücksspiel.

The little #CPM #workstation is finished. My evening work consisted of packing it in a nice case and starting the backplane soldering. But there are still plenty of soldering points left, I'll have to do that tomorrow as well.
Do any of you #Pascal nerds knows a source for porting #Eliza to #TurboPascal3, the first good Turing test in #BASIC?
