Turbo Pascal was my first real programming language, and Delphi was pretty pleasant to use for GUI programs as I recall.

I'd never even heard of Lazarus, I might have to try it for a nostalgia trip.

Same! My comp Sci class in high school started us off with Turbo Pascal and Delphi. You wouldn’t get C/C++ and Java exposure until your second year. I haven’t ever considered going back and re-exploring it though. Perhaps I should locate my old floppy disks with the original assignments on them and review just how awful my code was just a little over a decade ago.
