I've read that first Apple OS was in pascal. Also that first Autocad
version was written also in Pascal, but it need to exchange floppy disks
too many times for compiling.
It looks like Pascal had a bright beginning. What happened to you, my
beloved Pascal? Sniff =-)
53. Why did Autodesk decide to write AutoCAD in C rather than Pascal?
Because when Greg Lutz went to see a demo of IBM Pascal at the
computer store, he discovered that it took 5 disc swaps or so to compile
each file. Computer Innovations C let you run with the compiler in the A
drive and your source in the B drive without playing disc jockey.
