This is a terrible idea. The business advantage of Object Pascal has always been the component market, as it reduces development Component vendors simply aren't interested in FPC, and those that are, are bought about by EMBT and made Delphi only. Component vendors are interested in selling com

I still believe FPC should leave the "delphi compatible" idea, or clearly state that it means "compatible with Delphi 7 for legacy purposes" and nothing newer. Then innovate the rest of the language on its own in a Pascal-like manner. This is a terrible idea. The business advantage of Object Pas

Hello, I was going over the wiki and looked at http://wiki.freepascal.org/FPC_New_Features_Trunk . It looks like some of the features here, actually breaks Pascal, and create something like Jascal or something, but it's not Pascal in spirit. For example 1000.to_string ?! I have it on Ruby and Java

Re: [fpc-pascal] OOP in FreePascal ARM-Embedded

Objects work fine on ARM embedded, the documentation on this topic might be a little thin The minimum thing you need to do is to initialize the heap, after you have a valid Heapmanager you can use objects out of the box: program hellofpc; {$mode objfpc} uses heapmgr; begin RegisterH
