And who's stopping you to write things in Pascal these days? Lazarus + Free Pascal has plenty of platforms as target. Heck you can run Lazarus on Raspberry Pi and create stuff for Rasbian right there on your RPi device.
There's also Ada, which is not the same language but which was heavily influenced by Pascal.
I did too... but plowed forward with a project in Python... until it stalled.... took about 20 hours and re-implemented it in Lazarus/Free pascal, and haven't looked back since.
It's not quite as solid as Delphi was, but then again I don't have $5k to dump on a compiler right now.
I miss it too; Pascal (Delphi) used to be one of my favourite compilers; until Dennis in tech support refused to reset my version 10.2 license registration limit the other day..
Time to move on I guess.
I started on Pascal too. These days I like Go, in big part for its readability.
