What about Rust or plain C? Or Digital Mars D?
I hate C with a passion. I'll never code in that ever again.
I also have no interest in learning "the new language flavour of the
month" - which will be obsolete in a year or two. Object Pascal is
already pretty irrelevant when it comes to looking for jobs - I'm a
freelancer / contract programmer. Though it has served me very well
since TP 5.5 and then again from Delphi 4 onwards.
I now go where the work is (as well as the money - but enjoyment of work
is still a higher priority for me).
Or instead of using rust/c/java, simply fix FPC, which is a good
solution IMO
I don't know compiler design or how it works internally. So contributing
in that area is out of my scope.
I don't see how ZenGL and Andorra3D have been able to succeed as game
engines
I can't speak for those, but have used OpenGL with FPC for a few months.
I'm definitely no OpenGL expert, but I did manage to off-loaded a lot of
work via shaders to the GPU. So that frees up a lot of what FPC has to
do with the general game "ticks".
Indeed it is not exactly a bug but could just be correct code that is
slow.
Many seem to miss the whole point of what I was trying to say. Other
compilers did a much better job than what FPC could manage - using the
exact same code (just the language syntax that differed). I didn't need
to change anything for GCC or Java, and I didn't have to implement all
kinds of work-arounds.
Either way, I've run out of energy discussing this. I profile my code
one more time and try the suggestions in Jonas. Simply because I'm
curious. But other than that, my project has already moved forward using
Java.

Graeme
