Hi !
I search desperatly a real pascal IDE/compiler for my Olimex development board. (A real pascal compiler, not oberon or modula :) ). There is no result on google... So our suggestions are welcome.
Thanks.

If there is a C compiler for your platform then learn C. Its not that different to Pascal and can do all the same things.

I develop in pascal since many years.... So i love pascal and wouldn't change my favorite language...
But if i don't the choice, i change my programming language, but never the C ! :)
Thanks for your reply.
Regards

I've been programming commercially in Pascal for more than 20 years. I've switched to C++ :(

It's a bad news....:(
I dont know why the pascal is no longer a "professionnal" programming language. Look the fabulous Delphi 2011 (XE)...The pascal language is not dead !
Now, create a pascal compiler for ARM7 should be a real and good solution such as C or basic...

It's probably because Embarcadero are so lost that they can't keep their customers satisfied.

We pay for Software Assurance for Architect, and *every* time there has been a major upgrade I've had to badger them to get it. And They *NEVER* send notification that we need to pay the next year's SA.

I've just given up. I don't care how good 2011 is. Embarcadero, CodeGear, or whatever they cal themselves this week simply make it too damn hard and I have lost confidence in them.

I've only been using their products since 1982, so as you can see I'm a real beginner with them.

Rant over.
