I am a little on the fence regarding the comment re neither fish or

each developer does their own thing in the language - whether that is
writing something for platform X or working on database Y etc.
Resources for learning are few and far between if you can find them.
If you wanted to learn Pascal for web development, should there be
something before re learning Pascal fundamentals?
If you ask people in the developer community what they know about
"Pascal" what answers would you get?
Do they (people) understand how the language has evolved? What is
possible in the language now!
While I don't do much C programming these days, I still read a bit
about what has been added.
There maybe announcements in the fpc community, these appear on the
forums vs fpc main site? In the news section, the latest entry is
regarding the death of Wirth and then one before that was the 2021.
This announcement was in 2022...

The Free Pascal wiki has pages for new features that have been added to
each FPC version, as well as a page, containing any changes that may
break existing code. These are for trunk:
https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_New_Features_Trunk
https://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_Trunk
And you get a pair of these for each stable FPC version as well, e.g.
for FPC 3.2.2:
https://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_New_Features_3.2.2
https://wiki.freepascal.org/User_Changes_3.2.2
