fascinating. He discovered hash tables after he released TurboPascal 1.0 and used them 2.0; https://youtu.be/K3qf8gRFESU?t=3265. So perhaps Anders of TurboPascal 1.0 can't pass certain leetcode challenges :)
IIRC, hash tables came with Turbo Pascal v4.0 and not with v2.0 (4 years between v1.0 and v4.0). Interestingly I can't remember what the difference was between v1.0 and v2.0 but looking at the release dates I think there wasn't much…

"Borland says version 4.0 will outperform previous versions in compilation speed and efficiency. I compared 3.0 and my preliminary version of 4.0 in compiling the CALC.PAS program provided with Turbo Pascal. On a 4.77 MHz IBM PC with 512K bytes of RAM and an 8087 co processor, version 3.0 took 15 seconds to compile the 1272 line program. Turbo Pascal version 4.0 took just 10 seconds to compile a slightly different 1273 line version of CALC.PAS."
