Free Pascal. That said, I'll use anything in my paid work if the project is interesting enough. Hence the three years I spent writing PHP.

- pseudalopex 6y agoI'm curious. How did Free Pascal make you a better programmer?
- busterarm 6y agoNot an answer you'll like, honestly. Turbo Pascal as the first thing I learned after BASIC as a wee youngin'. Mostly it was about connecting young hobbiest programmer me with seasoned professional me. Basically, sometime's it's good just to kick back and have some fun with your work. Aside from that though, my impressions of the language are that it forces you to be a little bit more organized about everything than C-derived languages. In Pascal, the things that you do to satisfy the compiler are things you can do for anyone reading your code in other languages (not that you would in those languages conventions though...). And other languages do this even better... I wouldn't recommend anyone go learn it unless they had a real business need to.
