Maybe somebody who prefers blog posts to video will write an app that converts videos into blog posts. Seems like that should be doable with modern AI systems. Maybe it could even add and annotate images from the video. It would be an interesting feature for something like Instapaper.
They exist, even ones using LLMs. And they're all pretty terrible. I would absolutely use one because I can't stand getting this sort of information as a video (or even just audio). Being able to have an accurate transcript would make such videos useful to me.
But, so far, I haven't seen one that's even close to good enough.
> like variables, loops, and control structures—Pascal presents these concepts in a way that feels grounded and accessible
How is any of that not "accessible" in popular languages that are beginner friendly like in Python and JavaScript? "Feels", are we actually talking about technical stuff that can be substantiated with examples or just sentiments?
> But learning debugging from a language like Pascal can be eye-opening because it forces you to think about what’s really happening in your code. Profiling, too, is something Pascal can handle well, even though resources for it are scarce.
What? Debugging and profiling in procedural languages are becoming more and more standardized with IDEs like VSCode which provide a universal/common interface regardless of which language you use, and they are getting pretty good. How does debugging/profiling Pascal force me to think about my code? I have been programming for 20 years and seen lots of languages and IDEs, and I am really curious to know what I am missing. This article does not say ANYTHING specific, just these handwavy words like "eye-opening".
