Not to mention you had a running program milliseconds after Ctrl-F9. I get modern apps require so much more stuff to run but I still miss that zippy experience.

+1 for the fast compile time. TurboPascal was not a marketing name, it was that fast, including my old 386 machine.

But TBH, nowaday's compilers do so much more, I'll happily trade compile time for that !
