did you know they ported turbo vision to linux?
@whitequark did you know that Free Pascal supports its own variant of Turbo Vision named Free Vision which is the base for the Turbo Pascal-like text mode IDE and that works on many of the targets that FPC supports? 😁

@pascaldragon
@whitequark Turbo Vision is the most advanced and best designed TUI widget toolkit of all times! Nothing else comes even close to it. I also miss the tiny improvements that they added in TV2.0 (part of Borland Pascal 7) which AFAIK wasn't open sourced. Improvements like changing the window close symbol from [■] to [☼] while it's being clicked.

I guess one can even forgive it's pascalish `#define Uses_TWindow` quirks...

#TurboVision

@ge0rg @pascaldragon @whitequark bruh i only read your toot because i thought it would be very funny to follow the #define hashtag, but hear me out: you speak truth to power! absolutely totally 100% right!!!
@lkundrak
Oh, I didn't even realize it would get hashtagged! But excellent idea to follow #define to receive random bits of cursed C into my timeline!
@ge0rg @whitequark and now I have the sudden urge to implement that in Free Vision. Dang it 😅
