FreePascal is way more modern and still has TUI IDE

If that was the point I would have linked the Turbo Pascal 6.0 Turbo Vision based IDE.
I linked the TP 3 due to the minimalist remark.

FWIW this isn't really TP3, just a skin over a vaguely TP-like compiler - the first thing i did when i pressed E was to type Ctrl+K D to exit the editor and it just focused Firefox's location bar :-P. Then i noticed it was just a regular textarea editor.
But it is indeed a neat minimalistic environment. I used it in a video ~10 years ago to make a simple text based game (i was pretty much improvising the entire thing while i was writing it :-P):

Of course it isn't, I could as well just have mentioned TP 3.0 and leave it there.
However I bothered to try to find out something to show to others.
TP 3.0 was my first Turbo Pascal, I had floppy with it alongside MS-DOS 3.3, to carry around into highschool computer lab.
