The last release of Borland Turbo C was in 1988.

That makes it an odd choice, considering gcc and clang are free and cross-platform.

Hell, they even have a C89 mode if you'll be deep in the cold, cold ground before you recognise // style single-line comments.

Isn't this a bit like saying the last release of Ford's Model T was back in the 1930's? It is now called C++ Builder, and it is still regularly released. https://www.embarcadero.com/products/cbuilder

Yes, if when arghwhat said Borland Turbo C to describe a product without Borland, Turbo, or C in its name that product might indeed have a different release date :)
