Guys I totally lost the line now. We were already talking about library and
compiler differences, and that it is no matter if that is C or Pascal when
we want to compile a code into different platforms. I am not sure why are we
discussing about this even further? That is not a question that we could
develop in Pascal multiplatform, the original question was why C is used
nowadays instead?
