[...]
Moreover, using a modern tool such as Lazarus, you never need to scroll
1000 lines to find a declaration: you just press alt+Up to go to the
declaration of the symbol over the cursor, and Ctrl+H to go back to the
line of code.
It's a bit like car manufacturer saying, "we've arranged a steering
wheel in the trunk but you need not worry, there are third-party
extenders allowing to also access it from a driver's seat."
Keeping all declarations separated from code is just good programming
practice. Mixing declaration and code is bad programming practice, IMO,
and I appreciate Pascal for not supporting it.
Are you really sure? What about:
procedure Test;
var
a: integer;
function b(c: integer): integer;
begin
b := 10 + 5 * c;
end;
var
d: integer;
begin
d := b(1); a := 2;
end;
What is it if not mixing declaration and code?
Thank you,
Regards,
Nikolai
Giuliano
