I'm used to that, that Amazon sends me some links to products (or similars) I searched for even after I bought one of them, but in the last week it started to send me something like 'Most read' (and I never bought books on Amazon)...
Tried to stop it, but no success - so I marked Amazon as spammer...

Spamazon. Why don't you reserve that before they do it?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

uh . . . oh . . . sorry.
I misread and thought you meant an Amazon started to irritate you and was going to suggest an appropriate lubricant . . .
silly me.

Odd. I buy books from them, and I killed that one years ago because I thought their recommendations sucked.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

If you had to develop a relatively simple application for Windows 95/98 what language, toolchain would you use?
Thank you all.

a) Im not sure thats a lounge question
b) 'really simple' - no such animal(see (c) 
c) you dont actually list any requirements - gui, file/data processing, commandline .....
d) if that's all you've got (Windows 95/98) its all you've got, but what if/when you need to upgrade it ?
e) along with (d) - what's the life-time of this 'relatively simple application' ?
f) are you going to develop AND deploy to this machine ?
I was thinking you could conceivably use gcc and c or c++ and target that machine, but even that (according to this) https://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#windows[^] is looking doubtful

Thanks.
Straightforward gui, file read, portable, deployment.

if you had a version of Visual Studio 6 around you might be able to get away with it

I would consider vbscript or jscript.
They can both read files - GUI-wise it won't be easy but a scripting language will get you up and running quickly.

IIRC, Turbo Pascal for Windows only produced 16-bit applications.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
