Welcome to hakthis.

Hi :)
If you’re into Pascal you should converse with @DOSmaster . He introduced me and I love the language :)

Pascal is old, but C is older. :P
Just because a language is ‘old’ doesn’t mean it’s obsolete.
It also depends on what flavour of Pascal you use.
Do you use RAD studio (Delphi) or FPC/Lazarus (FreePascal)?

With Delphi I made this during the weekend without any weird tricks or frameworks. (It’s FMX, which is a standard component lib of RAD since XE5 IIRC.)

Sure, it’s quite ugly still but that’s mainly because I spent a solid 10 minutes building the UI. :P
But to stop being a complete Delphi fanfag, it depends on your end goal.
If you want to make something that’s close to the hardware, pick C and mix ASM into it. (Delphi also supports in-line ASM so theoretically you could build drivers with Delphi which I have done past year. Was a small custom FAT-32 driver for an embedded system job.)
If you want something stable, fast and don’t want to spend hours trying to create a UI, pick Delphi/Pascal.

Well thanks for the inspiration and kind replies and i do agree on the fact that an Old language isnt necessarily obsolete :)

You’re welcome.

I agree with everyone else on this one. C and ASM are great languages. If you have the passion for them, go for it. Not many people have the patience to deal with C or ASM.

Welcome here; I hope you will enjoy the time spent.
