Hope this is the right place for my question/suggestion.
As we all know Python and C have an enormous popularity advantage over Pascal.
And that quality is not the major problem for the future of Pascal and Lazarus, but their lack of popularity is.
We also know that speed is one of Pythons major problems, in particular because Python is widely used for AI and serious AI applications require a lot of calculation speed.
Cython is a great way to speed up Python using C.
My question/suggestion: Does there already exist something similar like Cython but using Pascal instead?
If so, maybe it could be a great way to entice programmers to use Pascal and thus increase the popularity of Pascal and ultimately Lazarus.
(Which may ultimately also contribute to the development of Pascal and Lazarus, and thus ensure the realization of a virtuous circle of popularity and development.)
Or is this a dumb idea? (Forgive me I'm a hobbyist without IT-background).
