imagine the looks that mentioning (actively using) freepascal will get you ;)

TBH, i only had delphi one time and it was a free version for something... i
used it once and never again... i don't recall why... probably because i
didn't understand GUI programming at that time... in any case, though, most of
my coding was being done in TP/BP 6 and 7 for command line tools and a few BBS
door things... then i found freepascal later on after my coding time had
lessened... in today's world, i use freepascal and the lazarus editor... yes,
even for text only command line apps... i even have one that thinks it is an
"application" (using TApplication IIRC)... i'd have to go look at the code
which i've not looked at in 5+ years ;)
