Object Pascal is the only Pascal-based language that has as many resources out of the whole bunch. Through the Delphi, Chrome/Oxygene, Free Pascal tools to name the more popular ones, it has really grown into a verbose language with capabilities that surpass C and equal C++. In fact C# is, in part, a derivative of the Object Pascal language style of OOP.

It is being extended even today with Code Gear's newer versions of the compiler. However it is the longest running language to remain, still unofficial. Yup, there is only a proposal written of the language standard with the organization that is the big authority on programming language standards.

Despite that, this has managed to be be limited to only a few hiccups that get picked up from compiler to compiler. ie. Chrome to Delphi, Delphi to Free Pascal...

Troubles aside, like all computer languages have anyways, Object Pascal is really your best bet for an alternative to C-based languages. Unless you actually want to consider something based off of BASIC. :lol: But thats up to you...
