Any example of real and recent use of it? I wondered not that long ago if FreePascal could be a cross platform solution to develop GUI apps with Lazarus. Anyon

  PeaZip is written in FreePascal + Lazarus: http://peazip.sourceforge.net/ http://peazip.sourceforge.net/ Or, just check their screenshot gallery: http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Application_Gallery http://wiki.freepascal.org/Lazarus_Application_Gallery

  My university uses C or Pascal to teach Maths students basic programming (hello world, sorting, trees, stacks, graphs, etc). Friends who landed at the Pascal version of this course appear to ask much less questions about parsing the syntax.

    Here's a challenge: try to find a piece of pascal code that looks "impressive". Even the most complex object pascal code using pointers and closures and generics all together looks boring and easy to parse for anyone who has done some code. This might sound awesome (and it is), but this is also a huge turn off for new comers, lots of people think delphi/object pascal is like visual basic ...

      isn't "easy to parse for anyone who has done some code" an advantage?

        One would think, but many times I've tried to love Ada and Eiffel and I always find myself falling asleep at the terminal. "Boring" can also mean "too much repetition" or "spread too thin."

    I agree is one of the advantages of the Pascal language : readability http://www.freepascal.org/advantage.var http://www.freepascal.org/advantage.var Free Pascal : Readable like Python , fast like C++/C
