I actually moved from Basic to PASCAL in college and tried my hand at that for awhile.

Now, I do nothing with programming. Life sent me in another direction.

When I took Introduction to Programming MATH 105H in 1982, we had to use STANDARD PASCAL on a DEC-20. NO STRING HANDLERS! Characters (other than the occasional WRITELN) had to be handled one character at a time.

I have had an aversion to it ever since.
