Rather than be annoyed when other people do it, I should just start smugly declaring things I don't personally like to be "deprecated". For example, Wayland is totally deprecated. 100% legacy code. It's not even written in Rust! What an absolute clown show. Also Rust is totally deprecated. I only use languages from the future, like C++ '26.

@aeva I saw a video go by (didn't watch) saying we should all start programming in Pascal again. Maybe that's where we went wrong and we should be looking to the past for answers instead of the future.

And Wayland's not written in Pascal, so....

@raven pascal has never wronged me

@aeva @raven

I'll just leave this here.

@oblomov @raven what is this?

EDIT: oh I see, it's a pascal ide

@oblomov @raven oh cool, it supports basically everything ever except for game consoles (shy of a few old ones)

@oblomov @raven I'll have to give this a try next time I'm itching to learn something "new"

@aeva @raven

damnit, now I feel guilty for showing it to you, LOL.

BTW, I sporadically use a piece of software built using Lazarus, Double Commander

https://doublecmd.sourceforge.io/

a GUI twin-panel file manager that among other things can run the plugins developed for the best twin-panel file manager ever released for Windows, Total Commander (which is written in Delphi).

@oblomov @raven why do you feel guilty?
