Ask HN: Anyone else use FreePascal as their low level language?

Like most devs I have a couple high level languages (Java/Python/PHP) but my low level language was always C/C++. However after 25 years I was still shooting myself in the foot on the regular. I evaluate Go, Rust and fpc. I'm too dumb for Rust, Go's was close but lack of exceptions and classes made it not for me. Fpc hit the sweet spot. The syntax is a little clunky but I have classes when I need them, exception handling, memory management - both auto and manual and cross platform support. Plus I can fit in my head - unlike C++
