I was disenchanted with programming, /prog/. Until I (re)-discovered Pascal. It's such a fresh breath of air, I'm actually having fun programming again. If you want a statically typed compiled language, look no further. I don't even bother with C anymore unless I really need to do funky shit with memory.

totally agree
I cant believe people waste their time learning C, Java, Python for general purpose programming when they could have a fast light weight language like Pascal that has all their benefits and none of their drawbacks

Pascal (Delphi) is better than C/C++, because it supports anonymous functions (downward funargs). But Free Pascal doesnt support them, so, no, just continue using Delphi, because Free Pascal is shit.

Also, Pascal works with arrays instead of pointers, so there is more space for compiler optimization. Syntax of Pascal easier to parse and more consistent, despite being a little more verbose.

So, because a free open source implementation does not yet support a feature introduced in 2010, that makes it "shit" ? Cool logic bro.
Go is better, it supports anonymous closures and go routines. If you want to be amazed, take a look at these slides (27-) and remember you're dealing with a compiled language built by the same dudes who invented C.

Pascal is faster than Go, Go is a failed attempt at Haskellizing C >>9 Syntax of Pascal easier to parse and more consistent, despite being a little more verbose.
if its so verbose, why goes Go (a C dialect) copy Pascal's syntax?

Pascal is awesome, but so is Ada. Or maybe even LISP.
Still, I'll stick to C. Too many libraries already made with it.
