pascal and its successors: modula-2, modula-3, oberon. ada has its own subspacu now, /s/ada.

Since we're talking Pascal today, does anyone know a good way to persist objects to and from sqlite? Say, TDictionary? Also the documentation on JSON is not good. In Python, you just convert the dict to json and write to the db, then pull it out amd assign back to the dict. Easy. Delphi may have a solution but I'm using Free Pascal.
Pascal and files. — I am looking for a guide to use text files in freepascal. I am looking to make a gemtext to html tool because it sounds like a good project. The link conversation is going to be a challenge but I am looking forward to it.
chromatika — this is the source of my pascal app. i am writing it by using delphi community edition, because it is able to build same source for android and ios, also for windows and macos. the app has 4 hald cluts as resource files. those are taken from real film stocks. to apply hald clut i had to implement the algorithm, and only hald clut implementation took one week. at some point i was desperate, thought i cannot do it. so the 'presets' are chrome, warm, cold, landscape. those are...
I finally discovered Single Window mode for Lazarus and I like it quite a bit more.
If I pick up a delphi book, by say, Marco Cantu, will this help me with the non graphical portions of free pascal? I guess my driving question here is, should I bother reading up on Delphi, or will it confuse me since they may have diverged far enough away. I know there's Delphi mode in FPC, but I'd like to learn just one, and there's more documentation on Delphi.
Why did Wirth's languages never see widespread adoption besides Pascal? Even Pascal is not used much nowadays outside of Delphi and Lazarus. I tried Pascal myself and I found it to be a nice language structurally, but I also found it to be missing basic features that relate to writing the language itself (example: not being able to insert newlines into strings like you would do in C via '\n'). I also don't like how much "modern" Pascal is centered around just 2 compilers: FreePascal and...
1992-06-27: Modula-3 Users' Group meeting report: part 4 of 4 (breakout sessions)
I've been enjoying using Pascal for my Farkle game, but one recent annoyance is timezones. On Linux I can't find a function that properly respects the local timezone of the machine. universaltolocal() doesn't work because tzoffset() is always 0. I just have to manually set the offset, but I feel like I shouldn't have to. Anyways, other than that, it's been fun.

Memory safety and Object Pascal
is pascal a memory safe language?
anyone have a good guide for integrating sqlite3 without Lazarus or forms? I found a simple example but I wanted a bit of description on the units and their functions.
packaging pascal for different operating systems. — in one of pascal projects i found a script to package for different operating systems: [https link] the script. even linus pointed it out in one of his q&a sessions that he doesn't know for which distribution his diving related software has to be packaged. and apparently it's possible to have some abstraction to package simultaneosly for different, not only distributions, but operating systems. i feel pascal software is not appreciated in...
so this subspace got me looking into pascal, and as a non professional programmer it's fairly easy to understand. I might make some of my CGI scripts with it in the future. edit: I figured out how to print a "20" line: writeLn('20 text/gemini; charset=utf-8'#13#10);
write palmos software with freepascal
power consumption of programming languages — this is an article about the research. couldn't help but notice that pascal is on the top row in three columns. that's because of the language and because freepascal compiler is written very good.
