>The compiler was decently fast (unlike Ada, anyone??? ;-) )single pass, extremely smart implementation. Nothing of today known to m= e can compete.

>The Modula family seemed like the better dire= ction; those were still Pascal-ish, but had nice intentional extensions so = that they were not nearly so "impotent."

Turbo pascal adopted ev= erything of value from Modula-2 making it completely redundant, thus borlan= d never published the once announced Modula-2 compiler.

However = we shouldn't look at the past as Freepascal is very cool.
