Oh, you are very welcome. I am glad some people enjoyed it.

I mainly work in the Linux/Unix world and there are more and more
people who honestly believe that _all_ languages are implemented in C
at some level, and all OSes are C if you dig down low enough, and that
the only real bare-metal compilers are C or something that translates
to C or at least uses C's models.

Only the middle-aged know that this wasn't always the case, and even
the older than middle aged -- my age group -- often believe that tools
like DOS and Pascal/Delphi died out in the 20th century and are simply
not options for any modern computer.

So when they see something like, say, Lazarus as FOSS, it can amaze them.

Which is one reason I wrote this:
