Turbo Pascal was my first real programming language, and Delphi was pretty pleasant to use for GUI programs as I recall.
I'd never even heard of Lazarus, I might have to try it for a nostalgia trip.

In case you want to look at a working Lazarus project, PeaZip uses it.
Same! My comp Sci class in high school started us off with Turbo Pascal and Delphi. You wouldn’t get C/C++ and Java exposure until your second year. I haven’t ever considered going back and re-exploring it though. Perhaps I should locate my old floppy disks with the original assignments on them and review just how awful my code was just a little over a decade ago.
Fuck that shit and all the memories of it during my graduate. To some extent I dreaded this more than assembler and cobol.
