The fact is that FPC / Lazarus is an almost unknown niche language /
environment. I am studying information technology and programming in a
university of applied sciences and there nobody knows about FPC or
Lazarus, not even the teachers. Everybody knows about C, C++, Java,
Eclipse, .NET, C#, PHP, Python, sh scripts, Lisp, even Haskell, but not
about FPC or Lazarus.
If those people don't know, it means nobody knows.
Comparing FPC / Lazarus directly with Java / Eclipse and saying they are
equal is not a balanced comparison. You ignore that Java has millions of
developers while FPC / Lazarus only has few desperate geeks (like
myself). :)
That's why I'm often running around in a Free Pascal T-shirt at
university ;)
Last Monday we had a little "end of lecture happening" with our program
optimization teacher and there I surprised him with the fact that Pascal
is happily alive ever after... a little sad as he's the head of the
"programming languages and compiler development" chair... :(
