the C-style operators += etc. should better be written as +:= since C has =
as assignment, Pascal has := as assignment symbol
:= means assign to, += means add to etc., I cannot find any
inconsistency here.
Also, += and such were created to make it easier to convert C code. If

What makes python interesting are the many classes it offers by default
to perform standard tasks, especially in the text treatment department;
regular expression stuff etc.
The same goes for most languages; Mostly it's not the language syntax
that determines the productivity factor; it's the
What matters is designing und understanding the code, not writing
it. I spend less than 10% of my time at work in actually _writing_
code, so even if someone can type in his/her code twice as fast, the
maximum (s)he would gain would be five percent in overall performance.
you are missing
Well pascal in the only mainstream langugae that does that - I dont
see the pont and it aint magic.
Jamie, now I KNOW I don't understand where you're coming from
Pascal? Mainstream? ;)

Forward declarations are redundant - they exist purely for the benefit
of the compiler.
I agree. I hate prototyping. That's why you use top-down design.
What's wrong with that?
Begin..End is redundant - you have to indent them to make em readable
anyways.
Not at all; I certainly
I usually don't say anything, but I wanted to throw my opinion on this
as well. This is important to me as someone who likes Pascal as a
learning tool (teaching tool), and as a language which adheres to
certain ideals. I use FPC in standard mode--is it still going to let me
mix types like
It is also not possible to use new features in the compiler. The
compiler needs to be able to be compiled with 1.0.x for bootstrapping.
This may be a dumb question but, can you explain what you mean by this,
and why this is not possible?

I have had an interest in creating an sdlgraph unit for a while, and have
been planning for a few months. I didn't really know that there was other
talk about this, although I suspected it. So today, I looked around and
saw some interest, and this listed as a project.
I am starting
