Show HN: My Turbo Pascal compiler in JavaScript
Boy, does that bring back memories. Turbo Pascal was just plain wonderful software. As for Pascal, I never got over the array length being part of the array's type.

I remember you could define an array to be indexed by an enumerated type which was nice. I haven't seen that done elsewhere.

Actually you could, by using GetMem() to allocate the amount of space you wanted.
