No, it's simply a matter of POV and what you need. A family car can never replace a truck neither a truck replaces a family care. Less people need a truck, but those who need a truck don't suffer from a distorted reality. > > Pascal on Linux etc is niche.

Maybe... I'm doubtful. A fully compatible VCL was never the main goal of the current FPC/Lazarus developers because it would be win32 bound. But feel free to hope for OpenDelphi, I'am curious on the developers doing compiler development in C++ to improve an Object Pascal compiler :))) _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
