No support for my new favorite language anyways :-\
Sounds like a cool idea though.

What's the latest? I'm just curious.
An aside, I happened to go on Bjarne Stroustrup's site(to get the spelling) and he has this long-suffering look like "20 years of standardization committees and still I'm not done!" :)

Pascal, since you're so kind to ask. :-[
It's not as dead or incapable of a language as many make it out to be, and Lazarus is a very nice (if somewhat quirky) IDE to make little visual apps with. I'm having a blast and learning a lot because for some reason I always end up with an itch to do something that turns out to be either buggy, or hard to do, or I don't know the language well enough. ;D

;D ;D ;D Ah Bjarne, you've created a monster... a monster at once beautiful and hideous...
I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out how to use my telephone.

Algorithms + Data Structures = Programs. One of my favorite programming books. I should give Lazarus another go. I did Delphi for a long time. Something about Pascal, I could just type in procedure or function names as I went along and figure out the implementation later. It seemed to flow more than C based languages.
Although there does seem to be a "guilty pleasure" aspect to scooping up all the block variables and jamming them into a Lamda Expression in C++. :)

I did Pascal/Delphi for a long time... made a lot of money with it. Now I use C#, and when I tried to go back just to look at some old code... I didn't find myself wanting to jump back into it.
Edvard:
Like I've said before, use what works for you. I like Pascal because I can grokw it.
I've said this so many times now, I'm tempted to make it my new sig:
With most programming languages, I feel like I'm being forced to do math. I hate math. With Pascal, I feel like I'm writing poetry. :Thmbsup:
