When you say spin, I'm assuming you're talking about the parallax 
propeller boards programming language.  The propeller 2 is coming out 
shortly (already out for early adopters), and I am anxiously awaiting 
the day I can get my hands on one.  I've built all kinds of projects 
with the propeller 1 board, the first of which was an FM radio.

But, to put this (somewhat) on topic, I've been wondering how 
complicated it would be to port FPC to the propeller 2 board, since they 
now have GCC ported, I would absolutely love to be able to program the 
propeller boards in pascal.  I do have a couple of their java stamps, 
those are interesting, and they do have a micro python that can be run 
on the propeller 2 boards, so adding pascal should be doable, I'm just 
not sure how much work it would take, but it would be nice to have 
another language to add to the mix.
