Was anyone building things like operating systems or drivers in pascal? AFAIK that was always the realm of c. Turbo pascal was the first language I was taught, I have a soft spot for it but I think it had largely faded away by then.
Yeah, when I was working at Burroughs in 1980, they were doing printer drivers and a distributed OS prototype in their version of Pascal. Problem was, everyone needed to beef up Pascal in their own way to make it industrial level.
