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.

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).

Finally dug into Mode X. It can do some neat tricks 13h can't, but it's got some challenges as well... so I had to dust off my very rusty assembly skills
