Yes, Turbo Pascal came from Borland.
At the time Borland released Turbo Pascal, the major C-compilers were Microsoft and Watcom (and a few others). They were quite expensive, few had IDEs, and they didn't compile very fast.
I taught myself C in the year before Borland released Turbo-C, so I was ready for a development experience beyond what Microsoft C had. (At the time, Microsoft had QuickBasic 2.0 with a nice IDE, but they hadn't moved that IDE to C until after Borland released Turbo C)
The first release of Turbo-C was like a jackrabbit when it came to compile speeds (though it didn't offer every code optimization that MS and Watcom offered). After a few years, it became obviously that Borland influenced MS. That's why I wish they were still around.
