we just worked with lazarus and looked at UML a bit, now SQL (11th grade)
Which Lazarus? The Object Pascal IDE?
like writing some code
Pascal gets far too much flack from people who have no clue what it even is
There are legitimate reasons not to like Pascal, but most people just shit on Pascal for the sake of it, and often just because others also shit on Pascal
most of those people have never once used, let alone besighted Pascal
they just hate it because everyone else does so (the network effect)
it's literally trendy atp to crap on Pascal
i mean i like the program we use at school (dont know any other...)
we also asked our teacher why we are not looking at C++ or JavaScript, we do not for the simple reason bc our teacher (a bit older) didnt learn it in university, java and stuff wasnt that big back then
Does it look like this?
```pas
type
Gender = (Male, Female, Nonbinary)
Human = record
FirstName, LastName: string;
Age: integer;
Gender = gender;
end;
end;
var James: Human;
begin
with James do begin
FirstName := 'James';
LastName := 'Jamesson';
Age := 20;
Gender := Male;
end;
WriteLn('I am ', James.FirstName, ' ', James.LastName, '!');
WriteLn('I have been on this planet for ', James.Age, ' years.');
WriteLn('For what it''s worth, I am ', James.Gender, '.');
ReadLn;
end.
```

BS imo; nothing stops your teacher from learning C++ or JS anyway. Once you master imperative programming fundamentally, you can pick up all of them in days.
I'm always glad to see Pascal taught in education, but your teacher's logic makes zero sense lol
I do love Pascal in any event, and I'm tired of people pretending it's the worst programming language in the universe
the thing is, even if he would know C++ or JS he couldnt teach us bc it doent stand in the curriculum or syllabus... idk what "Lehrplan" in english is
