A recent poll on the Lazarus/FPC forum highlighted a fact: pascal coders are older than most coders. Usually, at our age, we should be managers, not developers. But we like coding in pascal. It is still fun after decades!
But does it mean that you should not use pascal for any new project? Are the language/compilers/libraries outdated?
In the company I currently work for, we have young coders, just out-of-school or still-in-school, which joined the team and write great code!

And a recent thread in this very same forum was about comparing languages to implement a REST server, in C#, Go, Scala, TypeScript, Elixir and Rust.
Several pascal versions are about to be contributed, one in which mORMot shines.

Go language and Delphi

Do you know the Go language?

It is a strong-typed, compiled, cross-platform, and concurrent.
It features some nice high-level structures, like maps and strings, and still have very low-level access to the generated code: pointers are there, in a safe strong-typed implementation just like in pascal, and there is even a "goto", which sounds like an heresy to dogmatic coders, but does make sense to me, at least when you want to optimize code speed, in some rare cases.

It is created/pushed by Google, used internally by the company in their computer farms, and was designed by one of the original C creators.
