I've always been a C guy, but I did dabble with Turbo Pascal. Back in the days before gcc, C compilers were only available on Unix machines (well, there was a MS C compiler for the PC, but it was shit back then), so Turbo Pascal was a freakin' godsend for low-budget PC developers. That initial compiler was amazballs - a full-featured (mostly) Pascal compiler, linker, and editor - and they didn't even fill up one 360K floppy for all that magic. All that changed pretty fast, but Borland deserved 100% of their early success.
