`Hey,
Note: Brother if you have any queries related the answer
please do comment. I would be very happy to resolve all your
queries.
As I see it, a good developer experience meets all of the
foloowing points:
- Fast build, test iteration
- Quick resolution of build problems
- Minimize runtime errors / crashes
- Good debugging experience
- Easy deployment and packaging for applications
Turbo Pascal scored high marks on all of the above.
Here are the main strengths of Turbo Pascal, both as a language
and IDE. Modern languages and tools have overtaken TP on every
point but the combination TP offered is still compelling.
The tooling
- Fast builds, fast execution
- Good module system with “units”
- Easy to deploy executibles
- Excellent compiler error messages
- Excellent compiler and editor integration
- Built-in debugger
- Built-in help and documentation
- Great standard library
The Language
- Strong, statically typed language
- Steered programmers away from memory management problems
- Nice unique language features: Sets and files of records as
first class parts of the language
- Fast strings, avoid buffer overflows
- Nested procedures and functions (very effective way to
structure code when used right.)
- Automatic bounds checking and good runtime (for the time)
Of course there were some negatives too.
Kindly revert for any queries
Thanks.
