This whole thread has me imagining what it would be like if all the energy that went into Go/D/etc had gone into Free Pascal instead.
Imagine if Free Pascal had a swanky website, and an army of people blogging about this hip, powerful language, all the kids are getting on board, I heard Netflix are re-writing their routing layer in Object Pascal, have you seen the benchmarks for this awesome new non-blocking Pascal web server...
- pjmlp 9y agoI did enjoy Pascal a lot, but right now it lost the PR battle. Its spirit leaves on in languages like Rust, Swift, Kotlin and similar. It is easier to drive adoption to those languages, than try to convince younger devs to use Pascal, even with a swanky site. I like your idea, though.
