People sleep on Object Pascal to the extent it's almost comical. Not sure why more people refuse to get over the begin...end versus {...} bias or hypocrisy (since some will jump all over Python-like or Ruby-like syntax). A lot of what people want their language to become, is what Object Pascal already is.
I really would want to develop everything from scratch and not use preexisting libraries. But Pascal seems interesting. But a concerning thing would be an active community and active open-source projects. I'll take a closer look at pascal.
There are tons of downloadable components and quite a lot of people who still use it. If you need help with getting started, do let me know and I can walk you through an introduction which will save you a lot of time and get you going pronto.
Thank you very much for your kind offer :) but I already made my choice and picked up Zig. It was exactly what I was looking for. A modern C. No hidden preprocessor, no macros, no hidden control flow, and most importantly, it has an active community.
Also, since it already includes a UI and also a web browser component which you can extend/modify, it would be trivial to get started with developing the nuts and bolts of the Web browser
