I carefully said "successful" :) While I agree that all the languages mentioned were used I was thinking more in the line of the way Java has "taken over the world". (I dont knwo Lisa or UCSD). Delphi WAS Pascal for many years. It was the only usable pascal dialect around. It is really nice to see the way Pascal is being pushed in many areas - Chrome, FPC, etc. I'd however like to see Pascal being moved into other areas as well. Like being able to compile Pascal to JavaByte code (Dont send me links on why FPC cant - I've read them all - I still would like it though) or Pascal to SWF for Web Page coding. The biggest problem I believe Pascal has is that C/C++ programmers dont care about Pascal. We need to publicise Pascal to the guys ject beginning to code - get them to believe pascal is the greatest - just like I do - any you probably also. -----Original Message----- From: Jon Shorie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 June 2006 14:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [lazarus] pascal is obsolete?

Anyway, I agree that object pascal is just about perfect. _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
