Modern Object Pascal Introduction for Programmers – Castle Game Engine

I was introduced a very long time ago --- aka Delphi 2. I really like the language but there are mainly 2 problems that stand in the way of using it.

1) The code isn't as "optimized" as it could be.

2) The talent pool is limited --- chicken or egg issue.

It has been this way for a very long time so I don't see it changing.
