Um. You might be wrong: Google "Pascal .NET"[^] And there is still Delphi out there.
The only instant messaging I do involves my middle finger. English doesn't borrow from other languages. English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.
PASCAL.Net, not PASCAL.

You know, it's a funny thing. I was using Pascal just 5 minutes ago.
Really? Not Turbo PASCAL or PASCAL.Net?

Hi David!
Anything that is unrelated to elephants is irrelephant

I met someone using Borland Pascal several years ago

Like any other living/non-living thing, language also follows bell-curve. It doesn't die, but get way too obsolete to bother about. Its the interest level of developer community that keeps the language/platform alive. And legacy application of course: VFP for example. In general, Developer community is like that child who wants/gets a new toy every now and then. Some lasts longer, some for very short span.
Thanks, Milind
Our company uses VFP 9 , it also has a version of its application still alive produced by FOXPROW version 2.6 and we still support its customers

I know. How silly of me to post a silly joke like that. :doh:
Signature construction in progress. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Nope. The one that InnoSetup uses for scripting.

exactly, that's the point. It gets obsolete to the level that it looses focus of majority community and we call it dead....but its alive sometimes at it's own sometimes with pace-maker !
Thanks, Milind
Like old products. We had a support call yesterday from one of our customers... they were using an at least 15 year old application of ours... :laugh: and of course it was "urgentzz" ;P they were lucky at least someone here knew what he was talking about :D

I can't even read my old Pascal files from college, but... I do have Pascal compilers for my OpenVMS systems. :cool: (And COBOL and Fortran and BASIC... I don't remember the complete list, I only use the C compiler occasionally.)
