I do not dwell on "liking/disliking" languages. I use what I use (few languages) for pure practical reasons. To me the goal is to design and deliver end product. Language to me is like a screwdriver. It just has to be good enough to do the job without bending backwards. For making native multiplatform GUI applications Lazarus/Freepascal combo totally ticks the box.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoThat's fair and also generally how I look at things, but it does mean having to become familiar with yet-another-language that has its own quirks and models and whatnot and, in FPC's case, a complete lack of inline variable declaration.
