Free Pascal has now a WebAssembly back end

  “Whoever thought Pascal is dead, should now think otherwise.” I didn’t think it was dead, only mostly dead. With seemingly every language adding the ability to compile to WebAssembly I wonder if we’ll see one or two languages come to the fore for converting FROM WebAssembly in order to fix issues or add features or perform whatever general maintenance needs are required before compiling back to WASM.

  <irony> Time for a COBOL WebAssembly backend. </irony> Congrats to the FreePascal team for the amazing product, whenever I miss my teenage years with Turbo Pascal I fire up FreePascal and relax.
