Well there are some things ofcourse wrong with Free Pascal:
1. First the name:
"Free"
Bussiness people don't believe in "Free".
2. Free Pascal Quality itself:
When I see simple things not working like:
Read or Readln or whatever, I run away screaming from Free Pascal ;) :)
3. It doesn't have an advanced development environment like Visual Studio
2005 or Delphi 7 / Delphi 2007 (last one sucky though)
I have seen onde IDE Lazareus or something like that and it's a clone of
Delphi 7 but it doesn't have the quality yet :)
4. Pascal sounds oooooldddddddddd and reminds people of the 16 bit dos/days.
Yak ! Full of frustration, limitations, and code going into the waste basket
;) :)
5. Special features for Free Pascal, what does it offer that the other tools
do not ?
I know free pascal can cross compile but for now I only need to compile for
Windows 32 bit and maybe Windows 64 bit in the future ;)
What features does free pascal offer for Win32 or Win64 development which
other environments do not ?
It has to stand out to attract developers ;)
That's my thoughts on it ;)
Bye,
Skybuck.
