Anyone tried FreePascal yet?
« on: April 27, 2004, 03:44:20 pm »
To my astonishment, I saw that FreePascal is able to compile for the Zaurus!

Look for yourself at http://www.freepascal.org/fpc.html

Wow, with Lazarus, a Delphi class library emulation, GTK+, some work on QT  and Win32 already done... looks promising!

Anyone tried it yet?

Pascal?  Wow!  I didn\'t think people still used that...  C++ itself would be almost dead now if it weren\'t for the need for it in Linux and OpenSource communities.

What\'s the advantage of using Pascal over C++?

It\'s not about a language being dead or not, it\'s about being able to choose the programming language you like.
By the way, Pascal (read:Delphi) is far from being dead last time I checked :wink:

Anyway, I\'m giving it a try...
