This thread made my day. Really!
In the end, the brick is an embedded system with a whopping 32k of RAM, mostly
filled up by the operating system. For me (ok, I admit, I want to drive the
war a bit further...) even c++ has too much overhead to be used for my brickOS
programs.
Real programmers don't use Pascal!

| (...) Ahem! :-) If it weren't for Pascal there wouldn't be a Bricx Command Center. Which means there wouldn't be all that really cool brickOS support in BricxCC either. And there wouldn't be the option to write brickOS programs using the GNU Pascal (...) (20 years ago, 9-Mar-05, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Welcome to the religious war of the 1970s. Honestly, no ALGOL-derived language (Pascal, C, etc) with or without Smalltalk-inspired OO extensions (C++, Java, C#) can be called a modern language.
