Oh man, Turbo Pascal brings back memories! I still use Borland software for some legacy systems at work—mostly Delphi for maintaining old enterprise apps.
It’s not my first choice for new projects, but for certain niche cases (like interfacing with ancient hardware), it’s surprisingly solid.
If you’re curious, check out the [Lazarus IDE](https://www.lazarus-ide.org/)—it’s a free/open-source alternative to Delphi that’s still actively developed. Not exactly Borland, but close enough for modern tinkering.
