Turbo Pascal was already doing this back in 1987.

The Pascal family of languages always made me look down to C and 
C++ toolchains as stone age technology that I have to endure when 
using those languages.

This is actually one feature that I really like in JVM/.NET 
worlds, even in the native compiler versions that are available 
for them.
