When we rewind the clock to the late 1960s and early 1970s, Pascal emerges as a beacon in the realm of programming. Crafted with finesse by Niklaus Wirth, Pascal wasn't just a language - it was an emblem of a changing tide both in classrooms and cubicles. By chance, I met Pascal in the mid-2010s and gained so many experiences in later years, which made this blog series possible. This would be the first blog of the series, Pascal, Once Upon a Time. I’ll cover many of these topics in future blogs!
