What if there was a group with a petition and an active goal of pushing Pascal to all these universities all over the world?

It seems to be the way to get something done. You form an organized group of people that believe something, get it in print, start talking to professionals and the institutions that will make it happen and push for results.

The new Development Company to branch from Borland would definately support it so they are an asset (you would need a bunch of these interested groups) amoung other companies and commercial developers that could back you. It would then be taken quite seriously as it has the support organizations to keep things rolling.


This group's goals would probably be:

:arrow: Establish a presence of the Pascal and Object Pascal languages in secondary and post secondary schools and institutions.

:arrow: Promote Object Pascal in the commercial markets.

:arrow: Establish Object Pascal as a set language standard.

:arrow: Cultivate interest in developer products that use Pascal and Object Pascal and gain these companies' support in the promotion of Object Pascal.


I think that is not too unreasonable. If such an organization exists, with a modivasted leadership, we'd see more possitive amount of interest in Object Pascal.

Talk to the big companies that push Object Pascal. (Borland, RemObjects, WinSoft, Indy, etc) There is a big list! They will want to help and strengthen the point that Object Pascal is very juicy as a commercial development language.
