Turbo Pascal was my first programming language, I remember hacking together small games with it and sharing them at school on floppy disks.

It's a shame what Embarcadero has done to Turbo Pascal's successor Delphi. It's really an amazing language if it weren't for the god awful IDE.

If you're happen to still work on Delphi enterprise software I'd highly recommend to have a look at OmniPascal (https://www.omnipascal.com/), a very smart VisualStudio code plugin. It's a gem that provides JetBrains-like quality completions/refactorings for Delphi/Pascal.


Hey everyone! Due to my frustration with JSP at work, I've written jte during lockdown - a small template engine that gets out of the way as much as possible. Frontend can write plain HTML to display stuff and use plain Java to receive data from the backend. At the same time the jte compiler understands HTML and does context-sensitive output escaping at compile time. jte also has full IntelliJ support for code suggestions, refactorings and highlighting. Unlike JSP, the jte plugin does not require the Ultimate Edition!

Any Java folks around? Iā€™d love to hear what you think about it :-)


My contribution is a tower defense I've been working on over the last 7 years and that I'm still regularily playing myself: https://mazebert.com/ The graphics are pretty bad (I'm drawing them myself, heh), but there's a lot of depth and content to it.

There are three optional, one-time in app purchases, where you can tip me with a cookie, beer or whisky and get a cosmetic card in return.
