Pascal

A rather useless programming language, initialy created to teach new programmers how to do it properly, after the wave of sloppy programmers in the 60s. Improvements have meant that it has been used for real programming (mainly by apple). Good to get you into good habits, but still useless in the end.

person 1:i learnt programming in C++ in no time at all thanks to all the years i spent learning Pascal

Person 2:yeah...but if you just learnt C++ in the first place, you wouldnt have had to bother.

Person 1:&*%^$% you

Blaize Pascal:you think youve got it bad? they named the bloody thing after me when i was already dead!
