Adding C++ support will really make this project much more popular and viable option.

  It is viable just fine as it is, i'm not sure what you have in mind. In any case C++ support for Lazarus is almost impossible due to the work needed and the projects that will need to cooperate - i go into details here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15893362 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15893362

    I meant, unless you have some very specific reasons, Pascal is not the first language to pick for a new project nowadays.

      I think most people, certainly me, who would be looking for a Pascal compiler are trying to avoid C++ like the plague. It’s funny when you read about languages like Rust and Go basically trying to undo decades of C-induced damage, reinventing (albeit also exceeding) thangs that Pascal/Modula/Eiffel already had.

        Yet, it would be good to have an open source alternative to C++Builder. In other words, besides Pascal, to also have an option for a mainstream [native] language.
