[fpc-pascal] 50 years of Pascal, by the the author himself

[Ralf Quint via fpc-pascal]

Thought this was kind of interesting, though it leaves short of
mentioning the later Object Pascal evolution and thus Delphi and
FreePascal...

Isn't Free Pascal and Delphi basically the only Pascal compilers left? I used THINK Pascal and Metrowerks Pascal in the distant past but those are all long dead. You can't really talk about Pascal in 2021 without mentioning those 2 compilers.

It is in heavy use.

They have Pascal compilers for ARM, PIC, etc. also.

There's also Oxygene as one of the current ones.

Oh that's right, that's a pretty cool one. I hope once closures are finished we can use them to implement async/await like Oxygene or JavaScript. :)

pas2js already has those :-)

There are still some OpenVMS sites out there, which would lead you to
assume that VAX Pascal is still alive and kicking, albeit very much a
minority compiler.

For historic pascal compilers, have a look at this list:
