𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥 para Macintosh fue una de esas joyas de 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 que demostraron que programar también podía ser rápido, potente y elegante en la era clásica del Mac.
𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 presumía algo impresionante para la época: compilar 1,420 líneas de código en apenas 7.1 segundos.
Además, ofrecía un entorno integrado, uso de “Units”, manejo de ventanas y una experiencia que buscaba hacer el desarrollo mucho más ágil dentro del ecosistema Apple.
Fue una muestra clara de cómo 𝗕𝗼𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 llevó su filosofía de velocidad y productividad al Macintosh, convirtiendo a 𝐓𝐮𝐫𝐛𝐨 𝐏𝐚𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥 en una herramienta muy atractiva para programadores de los 80.

My cousin had one of these or C64 - to be honest I don’t remember - but it was so fascinating.
And I can’t remember if I have ever written anything in BASIC, I remember TurboPascal 😍

Not a website but a game.
I was like 14-15.
Me and cousin were already into gaming.
Dad got me a thick book about Turbo Pascal (the yellow one).
I said to my cousin "I know some english I have this book, we will make our own game by tomorrow" 😅
After 3 hours we had like a line on screen.
I couldn't even show a bitmap on screen let alone 3d models.
After few days we had 16 colors (NOT 16 million, just 16 colors in total) and super slow animation.
No forums, nobody to ask for assistance, internet was expensive like hell and pretty much no one had it.
Then I went onto a venture with another book "computer graphics in assembler" or something like that.
Spent 2-3 years with asm, learned tons about perf and how things works.
Finally got something moving on screen, mouse control, bitmaps, animations and all in 256 colors which was sweet.
Then lost it all because I gave my hdd to a dude that bricked the drive. No backups of course as shit was expensive.
Then I went back to TurboPascal as I didn't felt like re-creating all the asm libs I had.
It turned out that you can use TurboPascal with inline asm, which gave you speed when you needed and ease of use for 95% of the other code.
Kids don't know these days how easy it is now to create something.

最近EPSON PC-486HA3 (3.5"FDD×2 5"FDD×1) を入手しまして、2D/2DDメディアのサルベージが可能になりました。で、古いBorland製品の吸い出しを開始。
初めて触れたのがTurboPascal v3.0で、高速Pascalコンパイラに高性能化エディタまでついてくるということで、基本環境になっていました。
v1.0～v3.0まではあまり大きな違いはありませんが、v4.0で大幅に機能強化され、一刻も早く導入したかったのでIBM-PC版を入手して、SIMというtheBASIC界隈のシミュレータ＋パッチ当てでEPSON PC上で動かしていました。当初は販売代理店がMSAとSPLの2社あり、最終的にはMSA→BorlandJapanに一本化され、日本語対応も進められました。
v5.5で、またまた大幅な言語仕様改訂(オブジェクト対応)がありましたが、この頃にはPC98版も入手できるようになり、エディタはVzをカスタマイズしまくってTPCを呼び出すようになり、統合環境はあまり使わなくなりました。ただ、Wordstarライクなカーソル移動キー配列は今も身体に染み込んでいます。。

wow! good old times! ironically, I started in the x86 world with an x86 emulator running in the Amiga 500, so I tested my 1st x86 asm codes (like the video), before switch to TurboPascal, TurboC and later 32-bit DJGPP! 🔥

Per farvi capire quanto sono vecchio:
ho imparato l'informatica con il TURBOPASCAL e la statistica/analisi di dati con R

Thanks @ahejlsberg
TurboPascal was my first language
Great memories.
I went assembler as I found out that "graphics" was super slow in TurboPascal.
After 2-3 years of work gone by HDD failure I went back to TurboPascal because I realised it's much quicker to re-write it that way with some ASM inserts here and there.
Performance was also there once I started to address memory in bulk instead of using setPixel in a loop.
Thanks again.

BASIC was my starting point, then some TurboPascal - and then I stopped (regretting it now).

Generally, I find “flash mobs” kind of silly, but this one is just too good. So nostalgic! I spent an inordinately stupid amount of time programming in TurboPascal…

Turbo Pascal 🚀
Der „schnelle Einstieg“ von damals: Inline-Assembler, KI, Grafik – alles in einem Paket!
Und natürlich: Diskette nicht vergessen 💾
Wer hat den Sprung von BASIC zu Pascal gemacht?

1000 DM anlegen… oder doch lieber C64 Disketten kaufen? 😄
„Pascal – Lernen mit HC“ rechnet schon 1986 vor, was Zinsen bringen können.
Spoiler: Geduld zahlt sich aus 💰
Wer hätte damals investiert… und wer hat gezockt? 😉

ありゃ、、CP/Mの許諾？って今は Caldera(1998)じゃなくて DRDOS(2022)なのか、、🤔 それにMS-BASICとTurboPascalの CP/M Z80版は公式公開じゃないんだ、README修正してる🥺

オイラが学生だった80年代半ばに計算機科学科の知人に聞いたところでは、教育言語は「理屈寄りでPascal、実用寄りでC」と言ってたし、世間でもTurboPascalが流行してたから、使ったり習ったりしてた奴は結構いたはずなのにねぇ(´・ω・`)
