I have started learning programming with Turbo Pascal. Actually with BASIC. But Pascal became my favorite 25 years ago, and then moved to Borland Pascal, it was magic times - handmade games, algorithms... I felt myself a sorcerer making miracle things. Nowadays I feel myself an outcast in the world of templates, who writes his own libraries for corporate projects.

Thank you for your advice. I have not looked into Pascal long time. Can you advice some resources, repos, communities?

remember Denthor's tutorials in Turbo Pascal? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8837545

would be fun to get an old dos machine going with Pascal IDE and run through all those again
