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 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/

This week's new toy: 70% dust, 30% ZX81
Here are some more benchmarks from UCSD Pascal: https://github.com/soegaard/minipascal/blob/master/minipascal/tests-real/primes.rkt This was using a bytecode interpreter, but that would have been heavily optimised for each platform so it's probably a reasonably idiomatically program. The interesting thing here is that both the Z80 and the 6502 will beat the 8088 for any given clock speed...
