pascal

An underrated high-level programming language developed in the 1970s by Niklaus Wirth. Pascal was originally intended to teach good programming practices, but in the early 1980s, Borland took the language and made it more powerful and widespread by introducing Turbo Pascal. Today, Pascal is still used in the form of Delphi, a Windows RAD development tool similar to Visual Basic, but much more powerful. Applications developed using Pascal usually contain far fewer bugs than other high-level programming languages.

Contrary to popular belief, Pascal, today, is just as powerful as C, C++, or Java.

Deep Purple is known best for their song "Smoke on the Water" from the Machine Head album. Other popular Deep Purple songs are "Hush", "Fireball", "Black Night", "Highway Star", "Woman from Tokyo", and "Perfect Strangers" just to name a few. Deep Purple are often considered the pioneers of Heavy Metal music.

Deep Purple is one of the few underrated classic hard rock bands that still churn out great sounding music that doesn't have that God awful "modern rock" or "nu-metal" sound.
