Pascal in 100 Seconds

Lazarus!!!!!!!!

Isn't this odd?
Lol

My first programming language

Fireship: Famous for teaching a generation of kids from the 70s and 80s how to code.
Me who learned pascal in my school in 2015 (* _* )

next, make a video on Ada - another language i learned in the 80s.

Fun fact, Structured Text in Codesys, which is the runtime of many modern industrial PLCs (controllers) is heavily based on Pascal, and is what I use in my job, so the legacy is strong indeed

One important program written in Pascal not mention in the video: The original TeX by Donald Knuth, i.e. That one typesetting system to influence computer-done typesetting for decades and still has one of the most beautiful and usable ways to typeset mathematical equations (and auto-typeset citations).

rip in peace

Some dialects of Pascal such as Modula-2 are used in industry projects. E.g. several russian satellites run software written in Modula-2.

R.I.P.

It is *simplicity,
Glad to know/remember it was created for teaching 😃

Remember,its the creator of compiler choose the syntax style,he could try good,or even add styles by creating point (own idea about style definition,ibcluding)

Rest in peace Niklaus Wirth,
Though ljve in hearts,memories cherishing the world (with other great hearted fellows as Dennis Ritchie,Internet made people & many beings in world,etc)

Teaching & ofcourse,working tool should be simple & efficient,
A genius admires simplicity told by a wise man as Terry Davis (than lose yourselves in arrogance as Stallman/academic mafia that favors big elite families)

Thank you Fireship

Gonna have to see packages imported,compiler tools & others (crafting good tools out of bad to rigged tools are often hard,like c cpmpiler from many corps,gnu as abused)

And much 😊😅 (corps,mind minded care money,fsme than humans effort,heart)

Wish all be well 😃🌟✨🙌

I have to program in EasyLanguage on Trade Station for work quite often. I didn't know until watching this but it seems like it's basically pascal. Lots of begin/end, and the same way of declaring constants and variables. The keyword function is replaced by "method" but also uses begin/end

Rest in peace Niklaus. Pascal was my first programming language

It was the closest thing to C without being C. It is by far the best first language to learn programming because of how approachable the syntax is. Also because of Type checking which other scripting beginning programming languages like Python lacks. Delphi and Free pascal or hands down the easiest way to create a RAD desktop application against the Win32 api. You pull graphical boxes into place and code in the components:

Alley Cat!!!! OMG

I can proudly say that I am among these that learned to code using Pascal

Delphi is my go to language when i need a desktop application pretty fast.

Turbo pascal and modulo. Who is a master?

"teaching generation of kids form 70s and 80s how to code" mfw Pascal was first language I learned how to code with, 11 years ago (2013) when I began highschool in Slovakia
💀🤣🤣, still, I have quite a few fond memories of my first programs made with Pascal😆😆

delphi / C# creator is also the head (I think?) of the team that creates TypeScript

Not joking but have to learn this in 7 grade(currently in 11 grade)

This was my second programming language, the first being QBasic. I guess I'm a boomer now

I fucken loved Pascal pointers.

Damn I didn't know Pascal copied TypeScript's drip

My first programming language. After learning Turbo Pascal I moved on to making games in Delphi. The stone age was great

Jazz Jackrabbit was written in Turbo Pascal. :)

My first language that I learned that I no longer understand (I switched to python 💀)

Used VMS Pascal for a while working for Reuters in Tiverton. Bit crap I thought. I wanted to use C.

Wow... Takes me back to my Delphi days... Kinda miss it

OK, but who asked?

You should do Linked Lists in 100 seconds

My country still teaches pascal as the first programming language in our GCE O/L ICT curriculum.

People who learned pascal in school.

The same syntax is used in the SCAR and Simba video game macroing languages. I guess they might use Pascal under the hood.

Why Pascal come unpopular?
Any negative feature?

The first language we learned at school

I was waiting for this! Pascal was my very first programming language in High School!

is there a DOM manipulation framework in Pascal?

Could someone explain to me, beyond the usual "it depends", how much faster Turbo C was compared to Turbo Pascal? I mean the generated executable.

Activity:Make GUI in Pascal

Me: You Rascal

RIP

reminds me a lot of lua for some reason

In my country they changed pascal with python in high school just 2 years ago

I used Borland Delphi 7 for years.
I have a copy of it. The single file installer is around 50 ish megabytes, but after installation takes up 400 some megabytes. That's a really good compression ratio, and it is a cracked copy that you do not have to activate or register a.k.a. pay for.

Golang uses the colon in x := 1

my first love with programming languages. So much better than basic before

DelphiCon was called off last year. One developer got sick and the other one didn't want to be alone during event.

wait! fireship is on windows!

Pascal is one of those languages that "feels" dead, but has had a huge comeback in the 21st century thanks to languages inheriting a lot of its design choices. Pascal and Delphi might not be greenfield appropriate, but neither is C, and just about every modern language dips deep into both.

And if you're an Ada programmer, of which is still a very active language with many greenfield projects, you've basically covered the core of Pascal.

Looks like high level assembly lol
