Turbo Pascal Turns 40
One of my favourite computer games was written in Turbo Pascal: ZZT by Epic Megagames. It was a quircky text-mode game with puzzles, shooting, and a built-in game editor that came even with the free shareware version (it even had a little programming language called ZZT-OOP).
ZZT's original source code was lost. Years later, Adrian Siekierka painstakingly reverse-engineered the original Turbo Pascal code till -- when compiled with the original compiler -- produced a byte-for-byte identical executable. Amazing! Read more:

- pas2go is a converter (or "transpiler") that tries to convert Pascal source code to Go. It only works on the subset of Turbo Pascal 5.5 used in Adrian Siekierka’s reconstruction of ZZT

Late 70s and 80s: forget BASIC, we had Pascal and C
Something bespoke.
My code repository contains a link to a youtube channel where the board was discussed, and where I found it randomly. But sadly the upstream site of the provider and the (useful) forums it hosted are gone unless you use the wayback machine:

Turbo Pascal Turns 40
That's what I remember too.
I briefly documented how to run Turbo Pascal 3.00A on a CP/M system a while back:
https://github.com/skx/z80-playground-cpm-fat/blob/main/TURB...
I'm doing that on a single-board Z80-based system, and it has to be said that writing pascal is a pleasure on such a machine. 64k of memory, and yet code compiles to real executables "instantly".
