using my extremely limited free time to add syntax highlighting for 1990s-era Turbo Pascal to the nano editor

it actually made a big difference

I just released version 0.98 of PASTA/80, the 8-bit Turbo Pascal 3 clone that lets you party like it's 1986. ;) Now with conditional compilation, overlays for Agon, and an RTL reference. Thanks to @sijnstra for tirelessly sending patches and uncovering compiler bugs.

Binaries available for MacOS (Arm and x86), Windows (x86), Ubuntu (x86) and Raspberry Pi OS (Arm).

Heute Abend nochmal zum Abschluss meines Urlaubs eine ganz starke Retro Brise: #TurboPascal. Lang ist's her, dass ich damit mal unterwegs war. Im Bild sieht man ein Quellcode Teil von einem Programm, das ich gerade archiviere. Ich muss mal schauen, ob ich den Originalautor noch zu fassen bekomme. Bisher gibt es darüber jedenfalls _gar nichts_ im Netz. #retro #retrocomputing #pascal #lazarus

#learningpython is being quite fun! I was honestly considering to close the circle and go back to #turbopascal ,though. The community and the easiness of #python is intoxicating, to say the least.

This has nothing to do with Ruby but whatever 🤷‍♂️

After all these years, I found the := operator again — the one I used back in college with Pascal and Delphi… now in Go.
Nostalgia compiles fast.

Made a retro hero for the blog, Turbo Pascal 7.0 style with CRT monitor and everything.

Anyone else remember Ctrl+F9? 💚

I just released version 0.97 of PASTA/80, the 8-bit Turbo Pascal 3 clone you didn't know you needed. 😀 Now with a target for Agon Light/Console8 (courtesy of @sijnstra), debugger support and lots of small improvements to both the compiler and the existing targets (which are CP/M, Spectrum 48K, 128K, and Next).
