With Pascal being my first "adult" language, not used in 20 years ... it is surprising how readable that code is. Makes me wish for such simpler times.

that fits, I wrote the first code for xidel almost 20 years ago

and it still uses Pascal because I didn't plan to change it but just wanted to show people what I programmed 20 years ago

What environment are you using nowadays to develop in Pascal? Editor, possible plugins etc?

FreePascal / Lazarus

There was actually just a large discussion thread in the Lazarus forum wondering about why it is not more popular, with almost 300 comments. But now the thread got locked. That might be a reason.

I used Delphi on Windows 98. But that became outdated, so I ported it to FreePascal. FreePascal has a lot of integrated libraries, but I do not really use anything I did not already use with Delphi.
