Free Pascal has a JVM target that supports garbage collection and
pretty much nobody is using it. Why do you think that is?

This is what I meant in my previous post. JWM? Garbage collection? What
was wrong with Turbo Pascal 5.5? If you want garbage collection, what's
wrong with Python, Ruby or Lua?

The point of the JVM target is that it allows to use Pascal code on
the Java Virtual Machine. What's wrong with supporting more
platforms? Same as FPC supporting either JavaScript directly
(through pas2js) or WebAssembly.<br>
