The number of platforms Pascal is available looks impressive! Can you mention some of the others like that? You say there are various options. What are those?
Lots of activity and talk to try to push Rust into being a stronger alternative too. There are also the other newer C alternative languages and languages that compile to C (Nim, Vlang...), that can be directed towards this purpose. Speaking of Vlang, there is now a project for it to compile to Pascal, as one of its backends (in addition to C and WASM).
So... Pascal, Ada, Java, Go (including TinyGo), Rust (future), and others mentioned (future/transpile to C)...
Don't get me wrong, C dominates. But, depending on what is being done, its not the only language that has to be used or it can be written in something else that transpiles to it.
> Free Pascal is a mature, versatile, open source Pascal compiler. It can target many processor architectures: Intel x86 (16 and 32 bit), AMD64/x86-64, PowerPC, PowerPC64, SPARC, SPARC64, ARM, AArch64, MIPS, Motorola 68k, AVR, and the JVM. Supported operating systems include Windows (16/32/64 bit, CE, and native NT), Linux, Mac OS X/iOS/iPhoneSimulator/Darwin, FreeBSD and other BSD flavors, DOS (16 bit, or 32 bit DPMI), OS/2, AIX, Android, Haiku, Nintendo GBA/DS/Wii, AmigaOS, MorphOS, AROS, Atari TOS, and various embedded platforms. Additionally, support for RISC-V (32/64), Xtensa, and Z80 architectures, and for the LLVM compiler infrastructure is available in the development version. Additionally, the Free Pascal team maintains a transpiler for pascal to Javascript called pas2js.
