Gramps, time for your meds.

/g/ can't code, mostly distrohoppers. They'll hear about Rust from their favourite troondev, so sometimes talk about that, but at any given time, there's probably only 5 people who could actually create software (without vibing).

Why choose Pascal over Ada anyways?

>>108544368
Modern Pascal is comfier than C. https://castle-engine.io/modern_pascal

Thanks, but I'm sticking with C.

Along with lazarus, it's currently the best and leanest way to get cross platform true native GUI.
Very much slept unfortunately

Does it compile to machine code?

>>108544358
I'm not just used it today. Lazarus is great for making simple desktop apps.

>>108544694
Yes, and it's self-compiling. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Pascal#Targets
Written from scratch years before LLVM,
Sadly, it married itself to Delphi compatibility so it also feels old and outdated throughout.

>>108544842
Agreed, but personally since I moved to Linux and I've come to hate GTK with a passion, I just use QtCreator and C++ now.

"end." terminates a unit (file).

Do you have to be dumb to code in Pascal? Is it a hard requirement?

The original code was written in Turbo Pascal 3 which forces you to assign function call's result to a variable even if you don't plan to use it.

I loved Delphi 7. But Lazarus suffers from OpenSource-itis. Not quite GIMP level, but still severe enough.

I love the fact that you can create sub-procedures inside of procedures. Makes writing simple parsers trivial.
