Fixing problems is less a matter of logic, and more a question of how many goats you have to sacrifice and whether the moon is full. No wonder you don't program anymore.Turbo Pascal

Turbo Pascal may be reviled today, I don't know, but when it appeared in the world, it was some primo, A-1 tech. Like magic, I know, I used it. It came on a 360K floppy, a single floppy; didn't require a hard drive to run; contained a decent editor, compiler, and linker that could make your (then new-fangled) PC sit up and dance. It's all relative.
