> Did someone carry on the "unfinished symphony" of frank shubert ?
It depends of what you are considering of "unfinished " in the Martin' symphony. IMHO, the last release of MSEgui/MSEide is "totally finished", all the projects that use it hardly work perfectly here. (with a custom fpc 3.0.2 release). Now about the "unfinished" part of the symphony, MSElang. Maybe it is better to wait 100 years like for the Shubert symphony. I will not spent any more energy in the fpc project. fpc was a marvelous adventure and gives me fantastic solutions to migrate some of my Delphi projects to the Unix world. But times has changed, Java is the king and ARM processors win. And for native libraries or executables, float calculation is the norm. Optimization is a must and needs lot of human resource to update it continually. fpc cannot compete with projects like LLVM who is the future now. Even Google Chrome choose it (and add all of his power). Till now only C language is proposed (with Clang) for LLVM. The migration of all my C++ projects (that used gcc) was out-of-the-box. For me the only thing that could remain me with Pascal language is a integration with LLVM. The fpc-LLVM is not on the right way and inherit of all the fpc'bugs. The "unacheved" MSElang/LLVM symphony is already playing tuned, without any comparison with the fpc one. It produces valid native bit code files, ready to use for the LLVM compiler. And yes, for me, the question is, now that Martin is gone, should I still use Pascal language?
