Modern Pascal is still in the race (2022)
This article reads more like an ad for mORMot 2 than Pascal. I've been out of the Pascal game for a few years, so I had to look up mORMot 2.[0] Apparently Synopse are the maintainers of it.
The article basically compare their CSV/JSON serialising library to Go's standard CSV/JSON libraries. Looking at the Go code, it's pretty clear why it has memory issues, it reads all the lines into a single object (well, `[][]string`) immediately, rather than reading line for line (which takes advantage of the stream).
I am not sure how this is remarkable and impressive for Pascal. They talk about how you don't need to use the `try..finally..Free` routine all the time, but that's only if the object in question is an interface. Interfaces are somehow handled by a reference counter in Object Pascal, so you need to know how to operate on objects vs interfaces, because they act very different. Pascal is full of these quirks.

Turbo Pascal: A Great Choice for Programming Under CP/M (2013)
The most powerful and stable web framework is mORMot, it supports both FPC and Delphi. Here is its version 2 in development: https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2
I use Delphi all the time, IMHO, it's the best tool for Windows desktop app development - concise language, blazing fast compile time, easy UI design, flexible UI framework, all-in-one IDE, and so on. It's joy to me :)
And here is my new desktop software written in Delphi: https://docxmanager.com/

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?

Planned: Steam integration and engine available as a download on Steam
Thanks to Eugene Loza, this is already in review: https://github.com/castle-engine/castle-engine/pull/471.

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/
What are some alternatives?
python4delphi - Free components that wrap up Python into Delphi and Lazarus (FPC)
pasvulkan - Vulkan header generator, OOP-style API wrapper, framework and prospective Vulkan-based game engine for Object Pascal
CEF4Delphi - CEF4Delphi is an open source project to embed Chromium-based browsers in applications made with Delphi or Lazarus/FPC for Windows, Linux and MacOS.
