As someone born after the release of TP 7, this was a fascinating read! I wouldn’t necessarily have expected for Microsoft to make development (at least the “intended” way) for early not-just-DOS Windows this unergonomic, but now in hindsight, it’s also not that surprising, really. | ||

Not sure it's fair to say they made then unergonomic in some deliberate or neglectful way. Just that Turbo Pascal was a remarkable program. From the article: > If there had been a ‘Turbo Pascal for Linux’ in the early 90s, then we might all be running Linux on our desktops today. | ||
