Jesus... this is a very personal "back to college" article for me. Fuck Pascal - it is nothing but a parent of Java and C#, less powerful, even more verbose and restrictive with the same dumb and rigid OO-implementation. The language was designed as a learning tool and it shows. While it was crazy popular in the 90s (at least in Russia) I am glad to see it finally going away.
When I upgraded from Object Pascal (Delphi, really) to C++ it was like jumping into a superman costume.
