maybe i should do something silly like write all my small toy programs in Pascal instead of Python. Pascal was the second language i ever learned, after Basic. i used Borland Turbo Pascal and later Borland Delphi. when i finally learned C, i also stopped making gui software because that was trickier to write in C on Windows. the windows API is pretty horrid.
i used to think all GUIs would eventually get made with RAD tools like Delphi or Visual Basic, and that tools like FrontPage and Dreamweaver would be how websites were made. everything was getting a GUI at the time so it seemed like a natural conclusion. in the future, we wouldn’t hand write visual things like cavemen.
