I have made a crude wget based text-and-software-only mirror of the xibalba M100 software site that came up on the list earlier this week. Out of an abundance of laziness I did not do the work required to bring the graphic images on the page over, but the text, most of the software, and softwar

Oh, I can't resist... :-) Yep, I did COBOL too, busted away from it for a few years, and then a year ago went back to it. Fun. How about some mainframe assembler? It's been a while but I could probably cobble a program together. Then there's BASIC, Pascal, C, some C++, Java, not to mention the

I (we it was with my wife as a PhD student) wrote a lot of simulation modelling stuff (with time delays and dispersion and a lot of other things) in Turbo Pascal, both in CPM but even on the PC. I eventually moved a lot of those things over to Unix, stripped out the Turbo Pascal stuff, ran it t

Back in HS, I used the UCSD "P-System" Pascal compiler on our Apple][e hardware. We had the UCSD FORTRAN compiler too, and being into computer languages back then, I wound up getting enough FORTRAN in me to land an internship. In college, we used Modula2 for anything beyond the basic classes. I ne

Wasn't there something about pascal or maybe just turbopascal that it was uniquely efficient on x86 or z80? IE it wasn't just an arbitrary language like any other language, it was especially well matched to the cpu, which was why for a while nothing could touch it. Or maybe it was just thanks to s

I wrote some Turbo Pascal code in a programming class in High School, because that's what the teacher was showing us sample data structure code in. At home I was programming in BASIC, C, a little 6809 assembler. But I wrote a lot more Ada in college since it was their official language at the time
