They didn't care for Pascal or Delphi and certainly didn't give a shit for Objective-C aka the Apple Language.
They gave me my resume back with all the languages crossed out that they don't care for. One being Pascal. Free or not no one uses it. Only Scar and Simba use Pascal. And I know what FreePascal is as I used to have Lazarus and FPC installed.
I won't bash it cuz we use it and I script with it but tbh moving from Pascal to Lape isn't anything for myself to get excited about. Pascal script to Pascal :P I'm not too fond of dual languages that can be Compiled or Interpreted. Lets be honest; it's used because it's easy.
