A better question might be "why use Object Pascal over Language X"?
I could see a niche in cross-platform desktop development, assuming you didn't want to go the Electron route (and there's valid reasons for doing so). I've worked in Qt quite a bit in my desktop days and Qt/C++ is quite complex.
Object Pascal still has manual memory management though, IIRC, which is a large portion of that complexity.
- emodendroket 9y agoYeah, I don't have the sense from reading this that I have any idea why I'd prefer Pascal over, say, Java, or C#, unless I liked begin and end blocks more than braces and felt really strongly about it.
