The usual answer is 'yes but you can do that with VB too'.
I don't want people to compare VB and FP, but to see that FP is as good
as C for heavy things ;o)
And an eye-candy is one of the best examples :)

Lots of people are very fond of C because you can write 'unreadable' code and do some fancy/hackerish things like printing program's source code.

They do not know that this can be done in Pascal (and any other language) too. Do FPC needs a hacker style programming contest in order to show that one can write ugly code in Pascal ???
Anybody interested in fpc-hackers mailing list where people can discuss non standard ways of doing things?
