I heard that Delphi is Pascal language based.
I am planning to develop cross-platform apps. I come down to 2 options:
RAD Studio 10 or 11 (depends on how poor I will be)
Visual Studio 2022 (C++ based)
My primary interest is to monitor huge amount (may be several hundred to thousand) of sensors over internet.
Can you help me to choose between 1 and 2?
Can we program or interact with hardware directly through Pascal language?
Is it easier to interact hardware with Pascal than with C/C++, for example, handling MCU register, address content, etc?
I am new to Pascal. Hope to hear your opinions.
