I learned real programming with Pascal. So thanks to Pascal I could understand and learn other languages as well. That's why I love it.

I'm happy watching how much FPC and Lazarus have advanced, and I'm starting to love them over Delphi... Once I thought about leaving Pascal, but today it's just amazing to compile my engine in Windows, Linux and DOS just clicking a button. I even recovered code I wrote back in 1998 (10 years ago!!). So cool We will have Pascal for a long long time.
