Pascal opened the path with structured programming and hard typed languages. But most languages nowadays are hard typed: Java, rust, go, c#, swift... c is here to stay, but modern language got rid of c-like types byte=char=bool=everything. In fact modern development uses tools to control types in c and c++. I'm sorry to say than other language are better, handier without sacrificing security and readability. A few points: * Concurrency as part of the syntax of the language * Declaring a var when you need it * Tuples, so easy to return two values * Some functional programing And all those languages are backed by big corporations. Lazarus is for Delphi nostalgic guys, like me. I'm sure 90% of Lazarus users have worked professionally with Delphi before. > > I wonder to which extent our current programming languages will end as > a middle coding layer. > > AI based transpilers from Python to Pascal are each day closer to reality. > > _______________________________________________ > fpc-pascal maillist [email protected] > https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal -- Saludos Santi _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [email protected] https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
