1) In Poland (country in central Europ ;) ) Turbo Pascal is used in all
schools for lerning programming.
2) 6 years ago, on my 286 16 Hz it was quite difficult to compile anything
in C++ ;)
3) Turbo Pascal works now on my 525 Celeron faster ten C++... 2000 lines
program will compile and build in about 0.5 s in TP, and about 6 s in C++.
When you compile program often, this difference is important.

But I agree that it's imposible to write bigger programs in TP, especialy in
standart (not Borland) version, with 64 Kb code segment limit. Ofcourse, C
is much more flexible, portable, etc...
IMHO isn't so bad after all. It's useful for writting _small_ programs, and
maybe for testing algoritms.
After 6 years of using TP now it is something like... old friend maybe ?  ;)

Meany techers in AGH high-school (informatics, robotics etc...) still writes
their programs in... Basic (normal, not Visual)  :)))

=================
P.S. in what language was Windows 95 written ? I think that most in C / C++,
right ?
