I've probably written 100k lines or so in M2 30 years ago, and I still miss it. Usable interfaces and sub-interfaces at the module level instead of class interfaces, top notch green threading, really strict compilation - it helped programmers become better programmers instead of commodity programmers. Think about that in the future when you get into an autonomous driving vehicle. If not for the tyranny of C, maybe it would be the systems language of choice if it had been given the opportunity to evolve and get some more commercial apps supporting it.
You can do some stuff to the Lazarus ide env to get it close to tolerating a M2 style using macros and such, but it needs a bit of work. Just haven't had time to fiddle with the code yet. Otherwise, the FPC/Lazarus combo is amazing and continues to be one of the greatest open source communities of all time, IMO.
