Did you ever look at Oberon?

It's what Pascal should have become IMHO. Base syntax: case-insensitive Oberon. Extensions: Object Pascal features. Now that's heaven. If only we don't need to maintain backward compatibility...

I wonder how hard it would be to poach the best parts of the GUI system from Lazarus and put it into a Turbo Oberon system.

Oberon is also nice!

Modula-2, though, has a nice trait in that it has exactly the feature set necessary for "better C", and nothing more.
