[Lazarus] Why the Java became so strong?

[William Oliveira Ferreira]

sometimes all lazarus' users wanna see core team do something that
themselves can

writing a basic article of how to compile a basic application, how compiler
directives affects the way fpc manage pointers, place side-by-side a delphi
and a lazarus project for beginners is easy and it's not necessary to get
deep on the subject because it's designed for beginners
