[Lazarus] Why the Java became so strong?

Is true, but in the mind of most of this people the pascal is dead.
And the better of this people will be even sorry about it ;)
After all, the pascal always was an elegant language.

If you'd asked them about /Pascal/, rather than one specific implementation, they'd almost certainly have had something (of dubious accuracy) to say about it; if you'd asked about a specific obscure implementation of C or C++ (anybody remember AD2500? or Zorland?) they'd have been completely nonplussed.
