I have a feeling those pascal developers are getting stuff done super productively.



This is what amazes me.

If you go through the available Delphi/FPC libraries, you will find basically anything. From CAD drawing widgets to frameworks for building SCADA systems. Most are not present on GitHub, and if they are, don't have hundreds of stars.

On the other hand I have an impression that in more popular languages like Rust - which I use for my projects, I admit - most projects fall into "grep for the 1000th time, but this time made right".


Except most of that stuff in Free Pascal doesn't really have documentation.


  Object Pascal is a modern programming language. It supports classes, units, properties, generics, interfaces, reflection, closures…  Everything you expect from a modern OOP language.
