I studied TP many years ago, and have fond memories of it. I looked into using Free Pascal for a system level project involving networking, threading, and concurrency (here I mean things like synchronized collections). In particular the threading and concurrency libraries seemed to be limited, and not as 'nice' as alternatives in other languages (boost, or java concurrent utils). Also the language is sufficiently complex that I decided I may as well use c or c++.

Good to know someone else looked into it though. I note that on Mac it is still built using Carbon; not sure if Cocoa is in the works?
