It is much simpler in Pascal When you write to a pointer, it writes into memory. And it does not optimize it away. As if all pointers are volatile.

You could also try my Xidel. With the dev build 0.9.9, not the last release 0.9.8, because recently I have implemented my own hash map and JSON parser to make it faster than before. Although it is not fast nor supports large files (it loads

It depends on your tooling I just searched for the largest code files on my system and found a 100k file I opened it on the online repo and gitlab did not want to show it at first. When I clicked on show anyways, Firefox broke trying to lo

In Pascal that is really common, since the files are the modules. You publish your library as one file, and the user can import it by the file name. I ran wc on FreePascal to search for some. There are a few, but not as many as I expected.

I noticed that last week and was quite surprised by it. I was writing a script to get the permissions of all files. I wrote something like ls -l | grep -oE '^[^ ]+' and ran it in my home directory for testing. And then I was surpr

I wonder if FreePascal is affected Looks like they ported zlib to Pascal in 1998 and left it pretty much unchanged: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/source/-/blob/main/pac...

Pascal has always been the most productive language (at least for native code without GC). But it is lacking good libraries. Then I write everything myself, and then it does not even work, because it is lacking a good oss compiler.
