Personally I read the programmer manual for FP. You can do both Object Pascal OOP and Delphi OOP.

Wild. Also nice units for doing mmap and all libc stuff. I really ought to finish learning Pascal and actually write something in it. Not a bad language.

not only libc. what is very cool is that most of the parts of very rich fpc library has no libc dependency.

so necessary parts get linked statically to the resulting binaries, and those binaries do not require libc. most of the library goes with roots to kernel calls, bypassing libc.

once you start using threads or link to other c libraries (like gtk) then libc becomes a dependency.

Honestly it is such a fun language playing with FPC especially. I have the urge tl write something in it.

Maybe when I am done with my compiler (written in D), I'll write something fun and small like that in Pascal. Who knows! But I love FPC!
