[fpc-pascal] [OT] Pascal compiler for embedded platforms

[Michael Ring]

I also like their products, especially the development boards are very 
well designed. The IDE+debugger is nice & complete and the support fo 
the software is also very good.

The things I do not like are that you have to buy a license for each 
compiler family (PIC, PIC16, PIC 32, ARM), the compiler parser sometimes 
is a little odd and, most important for me, they do not support objects 
and have no plans to do so.

When you can live without objects a good choice, when you need objects 
then freepascal is your choice.
