Pascal, turbo Pascal and Delphi were my earliest real programming experiences making commercial software (the ability to inline assembly code in turbo Pascal was very good.)

It really was an excellent introduction to programming.

But then I switched to properly multithreadded object oriented programming, which Pascal was not so good at.
