- giancarlostoro 6y agoFreePascal compiles for more platforms than I'd expect, even the Gameboy. Might interest you? I know Ada and Pascal are sort of relatives.
- nurettin 6y agoI once targeted ARM/Win32 with freepascal, and was surprised that it got compiled. It even loaded the com objects necessary to build platform user interfaces (barcode reader stuff and showing menus). The problem was, it had dozens of subtle bugs like not bubbling up certain exceptions, maths rounding errors and I simply didn't have the time to fix or report them so I gave up. It probably got better over time but the experience stuck with me and I don't recommend the tool for professional use.
- giancarlostoro 6y agoFair enough, I only use it for basic things on the desktop. I'm not fluent enough in Pascal, and it seems like there's not enough resources out there to make my life easier. Plus nobody pays me to use it, so it's low on my list of tools.
- pjmlp 6y agoAlthough not free beer, Mikroelektronic keeps selling their Pascal and Basic compilers.
