Really a nice compiler. Pascal hopefully will to come back to existence with FPC and Lazarus.
Excellent Replacement for Turbo-Pascal (the real standard) so FPC may possibly be THE new standard. YET... you may want to have it updated from http://www.lazarus-ide.org/ ... As for a long time last version is 2.6.4, with major new version 3.0 to be launched soon.
Great compiler for a great language, continuing the tradition of legendary Turbo Pascal compilers
Always was a great language. This is good stuff when combined with Lazarus.
Pascal -- it's make reader laugh but I must use it in school and FreePascal is the best in the Pascal compiller. IDE is look like original TurboPascal but is better and have better performance.
I've been using Pascal since 1987 and FPC is essential in today's environments.
I'm coding my little helpers in Pascal since ages. Coming from DOS/Win16 I began with TurboPascal and switched years ago to FPC. Porting was easy and sometimes not even necessary to compile a 32bit exe. Porting sources to Linux may be more tricky. Compilations are fast and stable. I love FPC
My favorit Pascal compiler, it contains bindings and wrappers for the most popular C libaries on linxu and even adds some own stuf. Great compiler.
