Even though I was using Turbo Pascal/Delphi/Lazarus since 80's I am not really part of community. I do not think you'll find a single post of mine. So do not take me as an example.
I have to admit being a prick in this particular matter. Not being able to find subject when search on Google, Githab etc reveals a ton of info I think says something.
One extra thing. I do use Linux and find it very useful. Do I need to abandon it because Linus is not a shining example of polite person?
I think on here you can safely assume I have tried to Google, and do a codesearch on Github. Like another poster shows, certianly comparatively, you won't find much. That which I did find is nearly always Delphi (which does not translate to Freepascal, the only platform that would be interesting now I'd say). Very few complete and modern(-ish) repo's, rather than someone throwing their 15 year old Delphi project online.
I've done some Pascal coding, and this lack of libraries or projects is for me a practical impediment. Freepascal (and Delphi) come with very complete stdlibs (if they are called that), but I'd not be satisfied with merely Python's stdlib either. On top of that, string handling is imho very uncomfortable in Pascal, feels like nothing changed much in 20 years. I found a recent Freepascal university course, but source files with 10kLoC do not make it helpful to get started.
So, while the Freepascal forums seem helpful, it's a meager resource if that's basically all the community is.
