Re: [fpc-pascal] Bls: Quick Modern Object Pascal Introduction, for Programmers

[Marc Hanisch]

Thanks Michalis for your excellent work! It's very important to left the
early 90s associated with Pascal programming behind us and to encourage new
developers to have a look onto the modern aspects of Object Pascal!

Maybe a little bit offtopic, but I have a question regarding the compiler
directives: is there a way to tell Lazarus to use these directives in every
new unit?

Best regards,
Marc

Re: [fpc-pascal] [Lazarus] FreePascal and Lazarus Foundation

[Marc Hanisch]

Hello,

very nice to hear about the foundation. Are you open for personal members?
I would be interested in promoting Lazarus and Free Pascal.
When you get donations, how is the money split to the projects and who
decides about which project is getting how much?

Best regards,
Marc

Re: [fpc-pascal] Proud to announce..

[Marc Hanisch via fpc-pascal]

Wow, great work Michael,

Now let's build a little editor with the great ACE editor, which already
has support for Object Pascal: https://ace.c9.io.

It would be awesome to have a fully working Pascal compiler with an editor
and all the latest units online!

I'm really looking forward any enhancements.

Best regards,
Marc
