I'll see your Turbo Pascal wager and I'll raise you Zortech C.

#Vasarely was born 120 years ago. This weekend I visited an exhibition at the #Museum of Fine Arts in #Budapest, collecting his works from all around the world. I still recall #coding similar graphics using #TurboPascal 30+ years ago 😍

Gestern fiel mir beim Räumen eine alte Kiste - im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes - vor die Füße.

Heraus purzelten haufenweise Preziosen der Computerei. Hektografierte Handbücher - eigentlich eher Handhefte; dass sie nicht noch handgeschrieben sind, ist alles :-). Preislisten, Disketten, CD mit Programmen, Spielen.

Sentimental journey. Wunderbar! 💾 💽

Und da ist noch viel mehr. Muss ich mal in Ruhe sichten.

Irgendwo steht auch noch ein #Genlock Interface im Schrank. Gleich neben den 300 Floppies ( 5 1/4 Zoll) mit Public-Domain-Soft von Fred Fish.

Und den kompletten A500 samt Moni und Kram gibt es naürlich auch noch. 🤓

High school me learning to program was a bit too much of an arrogant jerk me thinks.

This is what the Internet was made for: Websites which are some kind of „knowledge Bombs“, conserving wisdom and evolve it further the same time. Oh wow!

Are you programming in #Rust and missing the usability of #TurboPascal?
If so, this is the IDE for you!

After a detour through a top‑down prototype, a single tip from a fellow retro‑dev sparked a new direction

using my extremely limited free time to add syntax highlighting for 1990s-era Turbo Pascal to the nano editor

it actually made a big difference

Heute Abend nochmal zum Abschluss meines Urlaubs eine ganz starke Retro Brise: #TurboPascal. Lang ist's her, dass ich damit mal unterwegs war. Im Bild sieht man ein Quellcode Teil von einem Programm, das ich gerade archiviere. Ich muss mal schauen, ob ich den Originalautor noch zu fassen bekomme. Bisher gibt es darüber jedenfalls _gar nichts_ im Netz. #retro #retrocomputing #pascal #lazarus

#borland #turbopascal #tp3 #retrocomputing

worked a little bit more on my dos game thingy^^
currently stable at 13000cycles (dosbox), approx. equal to a 486 cpu with an vga card^^ lot's of fun in the retro space #retro #gamedev #turbopascal #mode13

Finally dug into Mode X. It can do some neat tricks 13h can't, but it's got some challenges as well... so I had to dust off my very rusty assembly skills

I just realized something.. I used to love learning new things, i could get engrossed in something because it was simple to learn and easy to use.

New "tech stack" doesn't seem to be like that anymore. It feels needlessly complex and invents a new 'standard' every time. It makes me angry and I hate learning, cause its no longer fun.

Learning #borland #TurboPascal #pascal was fun and easy in High School. Moving to #C and #Perl in university was great and easy enough as well. Not that I was any kind of competent in C, but I felt I learned enough that it set me up on a trajectory to learn the finer details and gotchas.

Things like #Python are annoying AF. Oh, your python program only works on 3.11 and not 3.12 or 3.13? That shouldn't be at all. From 2->3 sure I expect changes, 3->4, i would expect great changes as well. But not a minor change!

Dabbling in #Go was fine actually, it didn't anger me much, and #Rustlang / #rust I'm still doing rustlings so I can't say much there.

CLI tools are weird today too. Do they want to be a TUI, a true CLI tool or what?

The #Unix philosophy made learning new tools nice and easy, at least I think so. Do one thing, do it well, make it so your output can be used as the input to another program and great!

Things don't seem to follow that idea anymore.

Or am I just old and biased cause my brain lost its elasticity?? I don't want to think i'm so egocentric as to not rule that out.

@beet_keeper somehow awesome (/if/ someone has PASCAL roots)

I'd love to contribute!
(and provide a website mirror)

I wrote an #xcom "ufo-enemy unknown' #savegame editor in #TurboPascal back then 🤓 😎

btw: do you know anyone of them (Jim, Gayle, Jimmy)?

@psychotimmy @mina is Turbo Pascal still available somehow? I used to work with it for almost a decade… (I’ve possibly looked a little younger those days) #turbopascal

📚🔢 "Exploring Mathematics with Python" is a thrilling tale of swapping Turbo Pascal for #Python, but don't worry, the paper cuts from flipping through 1993 #nostalgia are totally FREE! 💻✨ Latex formatting and a sprinkle of new chapters by Andrew Davison—what a wild ride! 🚀😂
