Holy cow! I used Pascal at college about 16 years ago. I never thought I would see it used in the wild, especially in 2016. Nicely done!

Some other in the wild examples, the WHATWG has a tool called Wattsi that's written in Object Pascal: https://github.com/whatwg/wattsi

Interesting blog post from last year on someone's experiences developing an application in Object Pascal: http://ziotom78.blogspot.com/2015/01/lfi-data-analysis-with-...

Free Pascal itself: http://www.freepascal.org/
