Is Fortran "A Dead Language"?
The Castle Game engine is not mentioned often, but it looks pretty mature from the screenshots and has been in active development for many years. Most recent news update was a few weeks ago. I have not gotten around to try it yet. Only started playing around with FreePascal a bit last year after not having used Pascal at all for some 25 years.

Modern Object Pascal Introduction for Programmers
This is a nice introduction. Apparently the author also implemented a full game engine in Object Pascal: https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/. I wonder whether the performance is sufficient; according to available benchmarks (e.g. the CLBG) the code generated by FreePascal is about three to four times slower than C/C++; does anyone have experience with it?

Web target – progress and plans
Trung Le (Kagamma) has been doing lots of work with CGE + FPC WebAssembly. His fork contains a branch wasm32-wasi-port with lots of active work. I absolutely expect that we’ll merge it to CGE webassm\platformer\test at some point, and then to master branch :)

International Pascal Congress
The Castle Game Engine mentioned in one of the courses sounds interesting. https://castle-engine.io/

International fonts improvements: better sizing properties, better IME support on Windows (to input e.g. Chinese in TCastleEdit), better example
.2. With big thanks to Freedomax, our TCastleEdit now works with Windows IME much better. The IME popup appears at a proper place, and is thus visibly associated with the input box. This is great for languages relying on IME for input, like Chinese. See PR 457 for movie how it looks.

What is a better option to learn, C++ or C# ?
Delphi is a good language to learn. Compile fast to native machine code. C++ compiles slower and C# has garbagecollection which can cause hickups. Game engine in Delphi https://castle-engine.io/

Huhh...its easy...made for kids
Still remember that my uni wanted me to use Turbo to code and i hated Pascal so much because i was coding already in PHP for fun, then i discovered Lazarus doing this exercise, and holy shit it changed my idea of Pascal, i ended making a GUI game of the towers with auto win and difficulty level selection. Good memories. I still use a program that's coded in pascal.

IDM is the best download manager so far.
I recommend JDownloader2 and IDM for most downloads; for videos/Youtube, I'd suggest youtube-dlp plus a GUI like this one. For manga, I use FMD2 or HakuNeko. For websites, I use a combination of browser Save As... and SingleFileZ
- how can i download manga from the provided sites at the wiki?

FreeMangaDownloader issues
What version of FMD are you using? Where did you download it from? You should be using a fork of FMD, FMD2, since it has the most up-to-date code and the maintainer is active.

manga-dlp - A CLI tool to bulk download Mangas
I was in search of a tool to download Mangas in bulk, which i could run in the background (for Linux). But the only tools i found were either for Windows (FMD2) or for Android (Tachiyomi). The only ones i found for Linux didn't support bulk downloads or duplicate checks.
- How do i download them (easy) ?
- Manga Readers on pc, how do you know when a new chapter is released?
