This is me back in Lazarus after looking at Python for 2 days
TBMan:
Are they kidding me? Text indentation effects execution of statements?
Handoko:
Me too, ever tried Python and felt weird about it. I could understand that would ensure code readability. But personally, Pascal is very readable in my eyes.

No: they're not kidding, and they defend that syntactic layout with the same zeal that Pascal devotees use for some of its questionable design decisions.
However over the years they've put a lot of effort into thinking through the internal semantics, and the internal documentation- which for my sins I've worked through in some detail- is good.
We might not like it, but neither can we dismiss it :-/

I do not touch programming languages which are case-sensitive..... :D

:D :D :D Nope. And they love it that way. I also had to learn Python and the text indentation matter was a problem until I started coding in IDEs (e.g. Visual Studio Code) with rainbow indentation enabled. Then you can see the indentation better than when using a plain text editor for coding.
However, Lazarus/FPC is still by far my go-to tool for creating native compiled applications and that is not likely to change since I don't have time to learn the shiny new tools like Go and/or Rust.
Cheers,
JD
