and some more (if you don't like TIOBE)
It's usually the syntax people complain about. The semantics is very very similar to most of the C syntax flawored languages.
The Lua syntax was designed with Modula-2 in mind (a Pascal descendant).
It's like saying Macintosh is dead just because its market share is much smaller than Windows.
- pshirshov 4y agoOk. Under what circumstances you would start a new project in FreePascal/Delphi?
- Rochus 4y agoPersonally I would rather use http://oberon-lang.ch http://oberon-lang.ch than plain Pascal. But also Delphi is still used in a lot of commercial projects/products; here are some references: https://www.embarcadero.com/resources/case-studies https://www.embarcadero.com/resources/case-studies or https://delphi.fandom.com/wiki/Good_Quality_Applications_Built_With_Delphi https://delphi.fandom.com/wiki/Good_Quality_Applications_Bui.... So there apparently are good reasons for starting new projects in Delphi; one I would consider is the ease of drawing user interfaces, which can be efficiently done even in a meeting with customers, and the blazingly fast compiler performance; so if you want quick results and a fast, native binary, then it is likely a good option.
