I like Pascal for its simplicity and clean syntax. The modern Pascal is not the same old language as in Borland's Turbo Pascal from the 80s, it's developing, it even has generics - see the "Modern Pascal Introduction" article[0] by Michalis Kamburelis. Also, quickly (or rather rapidly, as in "RAD") creating truly native and cross-platform GUI applications using Lazarus IDE is the killer feature for me.
