I wouldn't bother. That author clearly doesn't know anything. Lets see…
“This language is easy to learn programming techniques, but not to write
real programs.”
WTF?? In my 20 years of using Delphi and Free Pascal, I have worked on
small, medium and massive projects. One being for Lloyds of London (a
massive and very old reinsurance company) - a critical part of business
in the UK, moving millions of pounds around per day.
“Free Pascal v2.6.0: ...the inability to directly copy the code in
Notepad, use the syntax...”
Uh? OK, I guess he is comparing the FPC Text IDE. Well, does he know how
rediculous it is to copy and paste from the Windows Console to a Windows
GUI application - compared to Linux or Mac OS X. In that case - and
using his comparison style - the whole of Windows is rubbish too.
“And MSEide ("the form editor and source code") did not start. In short,
the normal behavior of a cross-platform application.”
Again, WTF? Yes I find MSEgui hard too - simply because I'm used to
Delphi or fpGUI. But doing "Project | New | From Template" and you have
the form designer and the code editor open. Clearly the author of that
article is rather brain-dead, or Bing Translator did a terrible job.
“Lazarus v1.0.2: converting Delphi 7 projects causes problems and you
need to manually fix things in Lazarus.”
hallo??? Delphi 7 using the VCL, which is tightly coupled to the Windows
Win32 API. Most Delphi applications also often call Windows API's
directly - bypassing the VCL. Obviously you will have to fix such code
when converting the project to a cross-platform toolkit.
“Lazarus v1.0.2: And it compiles slowly.”
Compared to what? The only compiler I know that compiles faster is
Delphi. EVERY OTHER COMPILER (C, C++, Java, Visual Basic etc) COMPILES
MUCH MUCH SLOWER!
This person clearly has such a bias against ANY Pascal language or
compiler. So why did he actually bother writing such a rubbish article.
He could simply of said "C++ rocks" and save us all the pain from
reading such rubbish.
