What about Rust or plain C? Or Digital Mars D?

Biggest problem with C is all the manual memory management, like 
strings, for example, that IMO morons waste hours of time on and create 
buggy code, all needlessly and unnecessarily.

Or instead of using rust/c/java, simply fix FPC, which is a good 
solution IMO, as not only does it speed up some boring game test case, 
but fixes other things that people didn't know about which were slowing 
down their app.

I don't see how ZenGL and Andorra3D have been able to succeed as game 
engines with all these performance issues in the RTL/compiler? Did they 
work around them and swap in their own faster code, instead of reporting 
the bug/issue to the fpc bug reporting?

Indeed it is not exactly a bug but could just be correct code that is 
slow.
