Some here are not appreciating just how fickle people are these days. It’s
not 1995 anymore and there are literally dozens of languages you can choose
from so if it’s not clear what language looks like within 30 seconds
browsing a web page people will click away and go to the next one.

I saw this video recently (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFFcCLzOOyw)
where this person goes over a list of languages he considered before
choosing Odin for his projects (Free Pascal not included sadly). Notice the
web pages and resources he reviewed in his process. The FPC web page
doesn’t even have anything to view in terms of code snippets. People are
going to click away for sure.
