Can't wait to pirate an old copy of Borland Turbo Pascal for CP/M, which was way out of my price range the first time around.

Ahaha holy shit I learned Pascal in high school

@djsundog Didn't know there was a CP/M version; thought it was DOS only.

@djsundog can't you download it legally these days, from the Borland museum? (if it still exists)

@thamesynne yeah, but in my heart it'll still feel like I am sticking it to The Man ;)

@filkerdave there's actually a baremetal dev toolkit for the raspberry pi that's in pascal of all things, so presumably yes :)

@djsundog Wow. That's kind of amazing I guess someone did it just because they could?

@filkerdave it's a pretty approachable language with low resource needs, so it's a decent fit for constrained education-focused hardware
