I am so glad to have had the luck to learn coding via various BASIC flavours, Turbo Pascal, Z80, 8086 Assembly before getting into C and C++, as I wasn't tainted about C being God's revelation for systems programming, that many seem to have.

After learning C, I quickly switched to C++, alongside Pascal, and stayed on Borland ecosystem until Visual C++ 6.0 came to be, followed by .NET.

On UNIX, C++ was my Typescript for C, as back then there wasn't FreePascal, and most Pascal implementations for UNIX sucked, plain standard Pascal, or P2C.

I also had the pleasure to have a myriad of other programming languages, including Oberon, yes it was rather cool for its time.

The way most modern languages have gone back to Pascal style development feels quite enjoyable.

In what ways have they gone back to Pascal style?
