- unnouinceput 7y agoAnd who's stopping you to write things in Pascal these days? Lazarus + Free Pascal has plenty of platforms as target. Heck you can run Lazarus on Raspberry Pi and create stuff for Rasbian right there on your RPi device.
- gmfawcett 7y agoThere's also Ada, which is not the same language but which was heavily influenced by Pascal.
- cure 7y agoI started on Pascal too. These days I like Go, in big part for its readability.
- mikewarot 7y agoI did too... but plowed forward with a project in Python... until it stalled.... took about 20 hours and re-implemented it in Lazarus/Free pascal, and haven't looked back since. It's not quite as solid as Delphi was, but then again I don't have $5k to dump on a compiler right now.
- albanread 7y agoI miss it too; Pascal (Delphi) used to be one of my favourite compilers; until Dennis in tech support refused to reset my version 10.2 license registration limit the other day.. Time to move on I guess.
