: It's been a "blast from the past" for me to re-visit Pascal after all these years in order to write this benchmark, but it has also made me realize how far language design has moved on since Turbo Pascal days when we used to rave about it: when compared to a modern language like Kotlin, or Nim, or with modern functional languages like Haskell or even more F#, there is just no going back for me as it feels "clunky". Verbosity in declaring var's separately from the code using them, no type inference whatsoever, begin/end blocks, etc. etc. Even Julia is better, although I don't like dynamic typing there are ways to get around it with some effort.--[[User:GordonBGood|GordonBGood]] ([[User talk:GordonBGood|talk]]) 04:43, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
