50 Years of Pascal
I did most of my programming in Delphi when I was a kid. Unfortunately, I then got stuck on it.<p>Any other language is either too slow or too unsafe.<p>Nowadays, I mostly use FreePascal, because so many people refuse to use non-open-source software, but FreePascal never caught up to Delphi. And there is no open-source ecosystem, probably because there is no standard package manager. Even if there are Pascal libraries, it is hard to find them or they become quickly unmaintained, so it is more economic to write everything myself. And then I could not find a job because no one is searching for Delphi programmers
