RIP King. 2nd language I learned was Pascal (Turbo 5 then 6) in high school. Tried UCSD P-System from a family friend with corporate/educational connections on 5.25" but didn't have a manual, and this was before the internet. I could/should have tried to use the library to get books about it, but gave up.

Fond memories; I feel like the 90s kids were the last ones to really get to appreciate Pascal in a "native" (supportive, institutional) setting.

I also loved learning Oberon/Bluebottle (now A2 I guess), which I was so fascinated with. I think that and Plan 9's textual/object interface environments are super interesting and a path we could have taken (may converge to someday?)
