I have looked for a long time for some stable, cross-platform, environment to use for my future hobby projects, and Free Pascal might be the best candidate I have seen. They officially support a large number of platforms from 16-bit to 64-bit systems and APIs seem to change slowly and still maintain compatibility to some (many?) 1980's libraries. I am a bit fed up with unstable APIs. That probably does not make Free Pascal "cool" but it is definitely something I see as a big plus, when some other programming languages roll out breaking changes every 6 months or so.
