Turbo Pascal was great. I remember buying version 1.0 for $99 (they claimed "the fastest compiler on the planet, period!" - and they were right). Delphi was incredible, too. I was originally a hardware designer and I got into software because programmers NEVER got drivers right. I was fluent in over a dozen assembler dialects. I started with K&R C (full of bugs). These days I only develop in C++ (Microsoft). Delphi and C++Builder were wonderful products (except for pitiful Boost support). I would still be using those products if it weren't for Embarcadero, who lied constantly to get subscription money. They lied about and missed their 64-bit deadlines so many times that I finally had to ditch them if favor of Visual Studio (has it's problems but at least they didn't lie to me and did deliver on-time).Certainly, Delphi and c++builder had the best RAD capabilities out there. Too bad Embarcadero had to ruin things....
