I was thinking more in the line of the way Java has "taken over the world".
This all has to do with Sun Mirosystems, a lot of money and marketing strategies. Things that FPC/Lazarus doesn't have ATM.
I'd however like to see Pascal being moved into other areas as well. Like being able to compile Pascal to JavaByte code
This is possible. Checkout MIDletPascal <www.midletpascal.com> There are also some fine pascal compilers for Palm and handheld devices. PS: This list of computer languages shows that a lot of languages have borrowed features from Pascal, because it is very nice language. (the best). http://www.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/Java/misc/lang_list.html The key to increasing pascal usage is promotion. Something like Microsoft and Sun do about their products. They are not the best but they urge you to use them, promote them in various ways and in the end there is the result. I have never heard of Pascal being widely promoted or marketed and thats why it is not so popular. _________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe: mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe" as the Subject archives at http://www.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailarchives
