Free Pascal

#1 Post by rufwoof »

https://www.freepascal.org/download.html works for me under FatDog 8.2

In the IDE developement environment (run 'fp' in a terminal) I created a hello world program, but compiling/running that failed. Reading around it indicated under linux it uses the external ld program, so loading the fatdog devx and then compiling/running again and it worked.

Copying fp to hdd (to preserve), and rebooting (to remove all of the installed files) ... and after rebooting fp runs standalone. That's quite a nice editor to have around even for just editing text as its windows and cut/paste etc are more intuitive/easier IMO than mcedit. Too big to attach here though.

It also has a calculator, and you can drag/drop (move) it around using the mouse (along with using the mouse to click the menu options etc.).

Hi rufwoof.

Is Pascal, Free or otherwise, used at all nowadays for programming significant apps?
Or is it now just a learning tool?

BFN.

Some seemingly still use it, more a case for early stage programming education afaict though.

For me, its potential is as a better alternative to using mcedit, i.e. just the IDE, and then only using that for text files. Mouse control, drop down menus, easy copy/paste, multi-windows (including dragging them around) ...etc.

I still use if from time to time.
It works well on Puppy-528 (a 32 bit system).
It is great for doing OO programming where you want safety.
It is easier to do a large project in it than in C++ for example.
