Isn't Free Pascal and Delphi basically the only Pascal compilers left? I used THINK Pascal and Metrowerks Pascal in the distant past but those are all long dead. You can't really talk about Pascal in 2021 without mentioning those 2 compilers.

It is in heavy use.

They have Pascal compilers for ARM, PIC, etc. also.

There's also Oxygene as one of the current ones.

Oh that's right, that's a pretty cool one. I hope once closures are finished we can use them to implement async/await like Oxygene or JavaScript. :)

There are still some OpenVMS sites out there, which would lead you to assume that VAX Pascal is still alive and kicking, albeit very much a minority compiler.
