The fact is that FPC / Lazarus is an almost unknown niche language /

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.
Apologies for my poor threading, but some messages fail to get through
our mailing list gateway.
Having spent time selling and supporting languages, as well as having
done a university job, I have to point out that you're not "comparing
like with like" here. If you'd asked them about /Pascal/, rather than
one specific implementation, they'd almost certainly have had something
(of dubious accuracy) to say about it; if you'd asked about a specific
obscure implementation of C or C++ (anybody remember AD2500? or
Zorland?) they'd have been completely nonplussed.
