Free Pascal VS Arc Programming Language

I used Free Pascal which I was quite impressed with. It supports multiple dialects and many targets. Source: over 2 years ago

As a tangent, I found it fascinating that Double Commander is developed with Free Pascal and Lazarus. https://github.com/doublecmd/doublecmd/wiki/Development https://freepascal.org/ https://www.lazarus-ide.org/. - Source: Hacker News / about 3 years ago

Here you can find the latest public code: http://arclanguage.org/ But I don't think there has been any public updates since that release. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

The Arc maintainters don't take public PRs or feature requests, and HN itself has numerous changes to the codebase which aren't public for business reasons. There is a public fork of Arc called Anarki[1] which has no direct connection to HN or Arc Lisp, and for which... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
