I'd like to have a language which
1. Is strongly typed;
2. Can be both interpreted and compiled (no virtual machines);
3. Has a good library;
4. Well integrates linux;
5. Object oriented;
6. Not complex as C++.
Object Pascal
-Strong typed
-Only compiled, but came from an interpreter background(UCSD Pascal)
-Has a nice large library, and units for most used APIs
-Integrates well in an UNIX environment
-Object Oriented with all the bells and whistles
-Way less complex than C++
FreePascal 4 lyfe!

Get back to school. Learn the difference between a compiler and the interpreter, HIBT?

I remember flamewars from long ago when I with kids argued about "C vs Pascal". I always liked to run pascal code through p2c and measure its time. Then I laughed at pascalfags because code that came through translator runs faster than original. Pascal compilers were so shitty those days.

I know FPC can't do all the microoptimization that popular C compilers can do, but it's okay. Maybe it'll get a proper instruction scheduler and cache optimizer in the coming year
At least it only takes a few seconds to build the compiler...
