FreePascal has indeed a lot of good stuff.

I wrote a ton of Pascal a long time ago and always liked OWL for Windows development. Compared to MFC, well, that was much better to they eye.

The main issue to wider adoption is that there are lots of integrations to do in modern applications and I am not sure that FreePascal can catch up.

Still, it is great for coding, as compilation is super fast and one can pretty much understand what's going on.

I assure you, it can. Be it through API, custom socket protocol, bindings, no problem. When one doesn't exist yet, creating yourself is not a big deal.
