I just had a weird bug in a programming competition. You basically had to sort the English letters that occur in a text according to their frequency descending. Except the one letter that occurs the least, needs to be sorted as if it occurs

The problem is that the pool becomes too big and wastes memory It is fine when the user keeps opening files and the parser can reuse the objects. But eventually, the user has opened all the files he needs. Then the process will never open

Pascal is better, because it has an actual string type that can store \0 characters, and a boolean type, and reference-counted dynamic arrays, and set types, and ranges in case statements (that makes it less verbose!), and a for loop that c
