Tres cool!

I tried to get my kid into programming, I really tried. This would be awesome for some of the kids in the Benson Tech programming courses. OK to forward it on to them?

adlangx.bsky.social•88 days ago

Sent to Benson. I hope they get in. Great opportunity.

As an aside Anders is hilarious and brilliant. I remember harassing him way back and he was great.

And I am getting old. Meh, still smart.

^H^H^H the creator of Turbo Pascal and Delphi, you meant to say 😜

Not to a 16 year old

lol

Fair point, and also a good way to date myself. 🦕

Such amazing languages, so I envy the kids who get to hang out with their creators. 🧑‍💻

scott.hanselman.com•88 days ago

To be clear I coded in both!

puf.io•88 days ago

That was implied 😜

This is an incredible opportunity. These guys are legends!

Is this some kind of showdown?

scott.hanselman.com•88 days ago

more of a deathmatch

Don't forget Turbo Pascal and Delphi. The guy's responsible for multiple pillars of modern development quality of life.

julianwood.com•88 days ago

They were my main coding learning languages! 😀

scott.hanselman.com•88 days ago

I am well aware! I was there! But the average 16 year old wasn't ;)

I wrote my final project in Delphi when I finished my computer science degree. I still have a love for that language.

My HS computer lab had a bunch of TRS-80s and we did command line Pascal compilation. Then they got a single PC and it had Turbo Pascal.

Mind. Blown. Step through debugging was straight up magic.

This is a ridiculously cool prize. How about a contest for us olds!

adlangx.bsky.social•87 days ago

You can maybe get Scott to come give a presentation at your office if you are really nice.
