Here is a Web Server programmed entirely in Freepascal:
http://ip.klimaregelung.de/ip.php?action=connect&benutzercode=Stratmann
No Apache or PHP or something else.

Because it is a small embedded computer at home only 20 connections at a time 
are possible. But it would be possible to expand with more powerful 
computers.

I am HAPPY with Freepascal!
