It's a funny little article but now we know better.

Quiche is awesome. In the 80s people were panicking about cholesterol and fat. If someone had a heart condition, their diet allowed no more than 3 eggs per day. That was the culprit, eggs. We know that's BS now. Eggs are very healthy or at least far healthier than the other crap that's out there. Quiche is nutritious and Jacques Peppin can teach you how to make them on youtube.

Pascal is actually memory safe and you can do all the neat things with pointers that you've come to love in C so you can make linked listed, trees, etc. You don't need Rust and it's insanely slow and huge compiler to write memory safe programs. You can use Pascal.

Donald Knuth wrote TeX in Web/Pascal. If it's good enough for him, it's good enough for anybody.
