There is GNU pascal. https://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/h-index.html https://www.gnu-pascal.de/gpc/h-index.html - they page says that they do support some of the Delphi language features/extensions.
GNU pascal is a gcc frontend - so it must support a lot of platforms https://gcc.gnu.org/frontends.html https://gcc.gnu.org/frontends.html
So there are probably some people who are still using Pascal, not just as part of the Delphi IDE.
It should be possible to make a web framework for GNU pascal, the executable could then run on any server.
Also there seem to be several options for web frameworks for pascal and/or delphi, interesting if people are using it for production (never used any of this personally)

it's not the mainstream, however there seems to be some action going on here.
- anta40 4y agoSadly GNU Pascal has been stagnant for many years. Probably a decade? If you are looking for actively developed open source Pascal compiler, your only choice is FPC.
