Interesting article by the creators of the Knights & Merchants remake about their choice using the Pascal programming language:

    Stefan Glienke Perhaps, he meant "for low level developers" ;)

    C was a low level language when it was created. Many (most?) instructions mapped to Gordon Bell's excellent DEC CPU directly. C++ is a horse specified by a committee. It subsumes C and adds everything else, including the kitchen sink. Many adjectives might be applied to C++; small ain't one of them.

    To me, it read like a justification made after the decision...

    "Pascal has good performance. I’ve never tested it myself but from what I’ve read both Delphi and FPC are comparable with C++, and certainly well ahead of higher level languages like C# and Java."

    Gotta love blanket statements, as if one benchmark is enough to show speed.
