I used to dream about owning a programmable calculator in the late 70s/early 80s, but by 1980 we had Apple ][s in my high school and in 1982, I was able to use the PCs in college, first programming in BASIC and later Turbo Pascal, which was the best PC development tool in the 1980s. Most of my classes were in Pascal. My first job was in C++ and I was doing C++ by 1993 and still am.

Now I write Python for fun.

Have you tried Lazarus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazarus_%28software%29, https://www.lazarus-ide.org/)? When doing something for the fun of it, I would much rather work with Pascal than Python. Both languages were developed to be quick and dirty, but I feel like Pascal is more on the quick side, and Python is more on the dirty side.
