> Ok, sorry, now I have read the original post. Sorry if I caused confusion. I agree that the main page should stay clean. So on the whyuse page, perhaps you could add a link with the text:
Advantages of Free Pascal which links to here: http://www.freepascal.org/advantage.var Maybe also something similar on the features page. There's some more info here as well: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Press_Kit It's a start, however, those pages still doesn't list what modern programming features Free Pascal has such as: (Please correct me if I am wrong, I quickly hacked this together) Closures (Anonymous functions) See http://bugs.freepascal.org/view.php?id=24481 Generics Associative Arrays Use TStringHashList Enumerated Types YES Built in Strings YES Inheritance single/multiple Foreach YES For i in ... Proper Array Support YES Array bounds checking YES Array slicing Partial? Nested functions YES Interfaces Properties Exception handling try catch finally Support C Types ?? More? Not sure if this should be on the Lazarus site or Free Pascal, but it needs to be easy to find for newcomers. ie. a link from whyuse, etc. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
