Pretty much the same here. I purchased Borland TP5 in high school which was the first version with "OOP" but I think we were using versions 3 & 4 at school which were also nice.
The equivalent of WordPress back then was Telegard which was written in Pascal. The sourcecode got loose which resulted in several spin-off "Telegard hacks" and many of the "elite" BBS where essentially themed versions of that original Telegard.
Then I heard Pascal morphed into Delphi? I never made it to Delphi. By 1994 I was into Javascript, Java, Rexx and best of all the opposite sex ;-)
I also learned Basic (Spectrum, GW, Quick, Turbo), followed by Assembly (Z80, 68000, x86) and Turbo Pascal.
So when I got to learn C, my reaction was like "meh", given that I was already used to Turbo Pascal capabilities in type safety, modules, OO, low level programming (everything that C does), blazing compilation times.
So I quickly moved away from C into C++ that allowed me to use stuff I was already used to from Turbo Pascal. Parallel to that I used most of Oberon family of languages.
I started in Basic then moved to Turbo Pascal so I could compile my code & distribute it - mostly on 5.25" floppies as cover disks on magazines.
Later by uploading them to BBSes via a 9600bps modem (yes 9.6Kbps was super quick in those days)!
