Would it not be more appropriate to use a thread pool and keep the

Yep it does.
There are ways around that issue (i.e. code aware strings) but in fact
these trigger a new

If if this is true, there is a decent need for backwards compatibility.
That is why, theoretically, code aware strings is a good idea.
Unfortunately the implementation of thos

The dream:
Write and test a program using in a (partly) RAD way, of course in an
Event-programming way, using the Lazarus IDE - say - in Windows.
Now just by changing some settings, compile it for

Of course we would need first a Pascal->WebAssembly compiler and then a

I'd like to check out working with Zeos and SQLite.
I have an "SVN" installation of Lazarus on Linux. So i used same for
testing.
I found a demo program and when trying this I found it includes the line
