👾 The IDEs we had 30 years ago... and we lost // Julio Merino
｢ This time around, I want to look at the pure text-based IDEs that we had in that era before Windows eclipsed the PC industry. I want to do this because those IDEs had little to envy from the IDEs of today—yet it feels as if we went through a dark era where we lost most of those features for years and they are only resurfacing now ｣

Reminiscing about Turbo Pascal
｢ The thing that struck me about this was not the language but the “IDE”. It was one of the first that allowed editing, compiling and debugging within the same tool. By today’s standards it was primitive but it had the fundamentals for debugging including watching values and breakpoints.
This was written in the days before GUIs. It was text based but still supported the use of a mouse ｣
A nostalgic moment: Turbo Pascal was my personal favorite during the 1980s. I developed graphics editors and Terminate and Stay Resident (TSR) apps using it. We've a come a long way!!!
