Turbo Pascal and other early PC development tools helped to democratize software development. “It’s a bit scary how long ago that was,” he said. Speaking fondly of “the good old days,” upon request for a comment on programming in the ’80s, Turbo Pascal creator Anders Hejlsberg told eWEEK it was ironic that he was just thinking of how November will mark the 30 th anniversary of Turbo Pascal as the first truly integrated development environment (IDE).
