Anon, the Free Pascal mascot is a cheetah.Given that you now know this, give me even one (1) valid reason for why you are not using Pascal.
I may be interested in the Pascal family, but I don't choose software based on mascots.
>>108931216No real advantage over C.
>>108931216What is Pascal and why is it free and what's the use case for it?
>>108931216ugly and retarded language designprocedural syntax like Lisp and C are always good
>>108931216I started using ‘Pascal’ family languages with Ada and VHDL, and don’t really need to change.
My first job in 2016 was in Delphi and Lazarus.Really hated the language, but now when I look at it:> The UI (with Qt widgets) was really simple to build and integrate with the code.> Software was easily compiled and ran on all relevant platforms: Windows, Linux, MacOS (x86 and arm)in 2026 no other framework can do this so easily
>>108932278flutter ?
>>108932300>webshit on desktop>broken by designlol lmao kill yourself
>>108932278Tcl/Tk solved this in the ‘90s and early ‘00s, but then retards went to incredibly slow Java Swing.
>>108932278>Software was easily compiled and ran on all relevant platformsbarely an achievement
>>108931216because I use and love JavaScript too much and we have a cool mascot too
>>108932714That is not the js mascot. That is the lisp mascot with the balls cut off.

>>108932739shit just checked it out and you're right, wtf, this shitter just copied it, wow what a loser
>>108932278python+qt?
>>108931216I'm using Pascal/Delphi on a daily basis in my job and I hate it with a passion. It's the fucking ugliest language I've ever seen in my life.
>>108932764>>108932750>"A distant relative of the Lisp mascot"retardjs is basically lisp but with its front half cut off so it's funny
>>108933481>js is basically lispno it's not, C looks more like JS than fuckiong Lisp
>>108931216too wordy. writing "begin"/"end" gets old fast.forced variable declarations before the beginning of a function block. I want to declare variables wherever.ancient crust of a standard library, if I ever have to see {$I-} AssignFile Reset {$I+} again...unnecessary distinction between "function" and "procedure".interfacing with c code is pain.this is why I don't use pascal, and instead use d and luajit.
>>108931216I needed a tool to highlight text from screenshots and make annotations for my job, since I didn't find one that I like it I made my own with lazarus. It is a 3mb executable that I can jus copy to any other Linux PC and I can compile it and run it in Windows too.
>>108933587JS creator was a Lisper you gigaretard.
>>108934637>Eich has explicitly clarified that he wrote the original engine (Mocha/SpiderMonkey) in C, not Lisp
