Re: [fpc-pascal] How does FPC perform in the FASTEST Computer Language Race

Hi, I remember years ago a similar test in a web page. Pascal was way low in the list, even below Java and Python! but we (in a forum) found that it wasn't Pascal fault: most versons program were optimised in code while Pascal used brute force (also compiling using -O3 made it way faster than the

Re: [fpc-pascal] FPC & Lazarus moving to gitlab

There is a third conversion of the FPF repository meanwhile (from June): https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/fpc/testconversion3 Please check and report any problems, this is most likely the last chance to get things fixed before the final c
