Comment on Ask HN: Anyone else use FreePascal as their low level language?

Comments

I see Free Pascal mentioned quite often on HN, so I suspect many are. I recently attended a Delphi conference where several people were using Free Pascal, including one session presenter.

I've also been using Oxygene, which is a different Object Pascal dialect. (This started because I have begun working with RemObjects - I have to admit, I have wondered why I never used it earlier.) It had design decisions to evolve it more like newer languages (eg it has inbuilt async/await and did on .Net before C#, tuples, nullables etc) and sanitised the syntax somewhat. I like it a lot. https://www.remobjects.com/elements/oxygene/language
