> Pascal was my first "real" language after Basic, learned it in the late 80s

Me too, word for word. I spent a few years in my pre-teens immersed in the Turbo Pascal IDE, which was a full-on educational tool of its own that explained everything about the language. I moved on to C after that, but I still get a nostalgic vibe from looking at Pascal syntax. It was a great foundational experience for me as a programmer.
