On the PC, my introduction to systems programming and Borland ecosystem, after some months of GW-BASIC, was Turbo BASIC.

Already a great experience with a structured compiled BASIC in 1991, and what made me look into other Borland languages.

Nowadays it lives on as PowerBASIC.

I don't get the downplay of Delphi or C++ Builder, other that they aren't cool.
