I'm sure the tooling is better by now, but I remember being pretty happy not to need to touch Pascal anymore by the late '90s. The APIs that expected Pascal conventions were often pretty miserable to use.
- pkphilip 6y agoYes, you do need to use Object / Free Pascal but it is actually quite a nice language and you can interface with C libraries quite easily
- hoistbypetard 6y agoThat's good. Converting between pascal and C calling conventions is one part of the 1980/1990s that I have absolutely zero desire to revisit. I do recall that some of the Object Pascal class hierarchies that got developed were quite nice, and I am glad to hear there's more development continuing that direction.
