What do you think about all these? How do You see the future of the project and target audience? Who will use Lazarus/ are using it now? For which developers it fits better than other languages? Maybe there is a way back to ACM and other contests?
Thus, students also has no more motivation to learn Pascal - business needs Java/C, contests do not accept Pascal. There is only Java and C++ available now:(Īnd I can remember that I participated in a quarter-final with Delphi in 20. What else is important for students? Contests!īut if you see at Programming Enviroment at IBM ACM ICPC (the biggest team student contest in the world): And there is a global tendency in moving from Pascal to Java, C++, again, because they fit better business needs. Indeed, in Russian universities it's still popular. Then I try and remember that Pascal from the beginning was a language for learning/researching. Many corporations invest money in Java, Lazarus does not have such a financial sources. for Web (e.g., SOAP, for Lazarus I know about wsdl toolkit 0.5, but it never worked for me)Īll this staff is very important for business projects, so of course Java+Eclipse is a very popular solution and it's very complicated for FPC+Lazarus to compete with them. SVN/CVS integration (Team SVN provider) Continuous integration systems (Jenkins, Hudson) If I compare FPC+Lazarus with Java+Eclipse for corporate use, i see that Java+Eclipse have: So I see that it's not very popular and want to ask how you see the future of FPC+Lazarus? Which role should it play? Language for serious business projects? Language for researchers and students? Or just a language to support old Delphi projects? Anything else? As myself I use it for the research (I'm a PhD student) and very rare on the job (our department, about 30 people, uses Java+Eclipse for development) as a replacement for complicated bash scripts (I know bash scripting, but not very well). But now I see that both are not very popular among my friend/collegues/other people around me.
