Isn't Delphi still used? And isn't Delphi still Pascal?
- projektfu 3y agoPascal is definitely somewhat alive, but way far from its heyday on DOS and Macintosh. For dead languages in the class, Modula-2 is mostly dead and Modula-3 is definitely dead. Forte TOOL is dead. Pascal has its niceties, especially enabling one-pass compilation and pretty clear code. It's neither overcomplicated like Ada nor relatively unknown like Modula-3.
- pjmlp 3y agoGNU Modula-2 just joined the set of official GCC supported languages on a full install, and is now listed on the set of languages that matter on Compiler Explorer.
