And it did its job as a learning language. After coding in Turbo Pascal for awhile, I went on a family vacation, read a book on C++ cover to cover, and came back and could code in C++ without issues. Prior to Turbo Pascal as a stepping stone, that couldn't have happened.
I went from turbo pascal to lightspeed/ think pascal to build Mac apps. I then used sams c and c++ primers to learn those and started building Mac apps in c and then c++.
I can remember in the late 80s VIP - visual interactive programming and how they were saying we wouldn’t be developing code using text editing in the future. Here I am in 2019 still editing software in text editors. Welcome to the future. 😀

I used turbo pascal in the 80s, I loved it. I felt empowered by it.
