I’ve never heard of a single proposal to change the fundamentals of Pascal, only to extend it. That’s a good thing.

I can’t think of any crazy features in FPC off the top of my head. I’ve never used try..except in my own code. Is that crazy? 

Python forcing indent is crazy. Swift forcing initialization is crazy. C# forcing visibility keywords for each variable is crazy. All those things are *optional* in Pascal and that’s why I love Pascal.
