Apparently Delphi is having a resurgence of interest and popularity.
Do you know anything about it?
Also in your travels did you ever use Modula-2?
In the early 1980's Pascal was the language taught at Sydney Uni and NSWIT for introductory programming courses.
C was used for more advanced courses.
But someone being someone used assembly language to write microbee drivers for C and Pascal.
Someone would write drivers in assembly code and then unit test them quickly and easily using Turbo Pascal.
The speed of the Turbo Pascal was incredibly fast and productive for its time.
