timcoates_solutionst feels like Pascal is entering a new phase... between the Blaise Pascal rewrite and the Unleashed branch, the ecosystem is growing in new ways. An exciting time?
Plenty to explore.

@lcamtuf You summoned the language trolls ! I propose to use #FreePascal as a target to rewrite everything ! 😂
Harald 哈拉德Deal mit den Suchmaschinen? Versteh ich nicht - sind doch die Bots, welche sich die Inhalte zusammenklauen ...
Ich kann aber bestätigen, dass die #KIbots alles abgrasen was nicht gesichert ist. Das Deutsche Lazarusforum hat seit etlichen Monaten einen etwa 50-fachen Traffic. Ganz krass war der 24. Juli 2025: Da waren 6508 Besuchende gleichzeitig auf der Seite.
Giovanni - ZL2GX@phillo For those who would like to move to something more modern, #FreePascal / #Lazarus will happily compile a lot of #TurboPascal programs when you give it the right options. Most of my 14,000 line linear circuit analysis program required minimal mods.
Harris GeorgiouJust managed to compile a 26+ year old small Delphi project imported to @LazarusDev Just convert a few DFM forms and a some window refresh tweaks. That's is. Perfect, fast build. This is truly a reviver of retro Pascal code. #FreePascal 👏🖖

And the results are in!
So, what am I going to do? Well, I'm leaning towards porting the existing Arduino C code to the Pico C SDK. I'm currently using one class for encapsulation and abstraction, but I could replace that with structs and static functions. I'm not a great C programmer, but I'm pretty comfortable with it, so it makes sense
However, before I do that, I see a bigger challenge of getting a good setup without using VS Code. I've been using #NeoVim for a while now, and I'd like to get a comfortable setup using that on #Linux.
So, I'm going to try to build Blinky projects for at least Pico C, Rust and Free Pascal, using Linux and NeoVim. Hopefully this will give me a better feel for how well these languages actually suit me. I've never done any Rust before, either, so that's going to be quite the learning curve!
If I have time, I'm going to give Yarg a go, too, because I think the premise is really cool. If I'm on a roll, I'll try #MicroZig too.
And if I really feel like I have the capacity, I'll port the code to one of these other languages.
I'm acutely aware of all the other projects I've given myself to do, such as the SIBO SDK and other small Psion-related projects, not to mention $dayjob and $reallife. So we'll see how things go!

Norbert Saint GeorgesWe're happy to announce a new PasDoc release with a big proud version number 1.0.0 :)
PasDoc is a documentation generator for Pascal source code. Documentation is generated from comments found in the source code (or in special description files). We support many output formats, like HTML, LaTeX (for PDF, PS), XML and PHP. We are free open-source software
Ich weiß gar nicht ob Ihr das wusstet: Auf meinem Rechner, welcher offiziell nicht für Windows 11 geeignet ist, habe ich #LinuxMint installiert.
Und damit ich meine Software auch unter Windows 11 testen kann, habe ich #WinBoat eingerichtet - da kann ich Windows-Programme nutzen.
So auch die #LazarusIDE mit #FreePascal und meine Software direkt unter Win 11 compilieren und testen ...
Find ich irgendwie witzig!
