- Decades of active development
- Proven concepts (same paradigm as .Net, VB and Delphi)
- Supports a lot of OS/CPU.
Edit: To get started easily with tasks like cross-compiling, getting the trunk edition, and so on, use (https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/fpcupdeluxe https://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/fpcupdeluxe) to perform the download and installation.
- langitbiru 6y agoBut it's Pascal. :) Now if there were something like Lazarus, but for Rust, the HN crowds would go nuts.
- edwinyzh 6y agoPascal/Delphi code is soooooo clean to read and code in! And it's quite modern: https://castle-engine.io/modern_pascal_introduction.html https://castle-engine.io/modern_pascal_introduction.html
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 6y agoOne wonders why there isn't something like it, but that you can use with any language instead of just Pascal or BASIC or QML+Cpp or whatever the crap Qt uses these days.
- pjmlp 6y agoFirst they need to make the borrow checker more amendable to something like SwiftUI and UI component libraries.
- entha_saava 6y agoThe cognitive overhead of something like rust in non-systems programming is pretty much understated in HN discussions.
- footnipple 6y agoBeing a very long time Delphi and FreePascal user with tens of thousands of lines of code in active use today, I never understood why pascal wasn't running way out front of Go, Rust, Java and all these other performant languages. It's so straight forward and such a pleasure to work with.
- pjmlp 6y agoBecause Turbo Pascal/Delphi was the ideal Pascal dialect (after Apple's Object Pascal) and Borland screwed it up. If Borland had kept their indies demographic, hadn't made their half-backed attempt to Linux with Kylix, the history would most likely played in a different direction.
