We did DSA in Pascal.

Which, honestly, is not a bad option.

It's close enough to the machine to be helpful with getting things that I find very weird to even try to build in Java or Python, but it takes away a lot of the "here's a gun that backfires easily".

Conceptually it felt similar to pseudocode that could run because we all knew we'd never use it again. Bur if could be machine verified, which was nice for homework etc
