I've been following this topic from the beginning and I took the time to read the (questionable) blog from the ex-CG developer.
I'm interested in it because aside my personal enjoyment, I started using freepascal+lazarus where I work in order to quickly solve some needs like data analysis, algorithms benchmarking before implementation, controlling our hardware from the pc, and so on...related to the hardware we design (I'm a hardware engineer). Well, what kind of implication should I expect if, for any reason, things turn to bad? Those implication suggested by the blogger are so serious that if I were trusting him, I would immediately erase all disks with my pascal stuff and buy new ones.
