- Pascal is a good language for learning - it was my first compiled language.
-
- But it's not used much in industry, there you have C, C++, FORTRAN and COBOL
- (the last two being maintaince of legacy code) and various niche systems
- like VB and Java.
-
- C is harder to learn than pascal, but when you have learnt it, it's almost
- instinctive to use. I'm just learning C++ now, doing design projects in it
- and things are going swimmingly.
-
- If you get the academic discount, CW is a lot cheaper!
