I was the guy that started the thread re: Pascal. The nostalgia was great. But for some reason I can't rely to that thread. I'll just do it here.

To Cressey et all,
To Celko,
I completely forgot about Wirth! Thanks. To teach myself Pascal I converted the "Game of Life". Anyone remember that? And of course I used UCSD Pascal on a time-shared mainframe. Then I used Borland's Turbo Pascal which, of course, was great.
But thanks for reminding me about N. Wirth. At that time is was about discrete math. Which of course led into relational db. I had a face to face with Ted Codd in which I had to defend our CASE tool's support of domains. I read all his works so I just parroted his case. So I passed.
