RIP Niklaus #Wirth. Wirth's #Pascal was among the first programming languages I actually enjoyed, after love-hate with #Fortran, #AssemblyLanguage and #PL1. I did loads of programming in Pascal in the 1970s and 1980s, on #DEC10s, #Vaxen and on the first IBM PCs (#TurboPascal). Then, #Modula. If you are using a #Logitech device today (I am!), that's another outcome of Wirth's vast ouvre!
Thanks to suggestion by @sos I started looking at the #TurboPascal and found #TRSE or Turbo Rascal Syntax Error :)
This is exactly what I needed. Nice IDE, very good framework (identical to what I started to build), all the hacks at hand, easy building/running, and super small executable files at the end.
Now I'm re-learning Pascal. Play with a prototype before I began porting my existing effects. Just need to get used to the new framework.
