I recently ported an old Pascal game to Free Pascal. I had never really used Pascal before this particular project. Learning the language was interesting, but there's a lot about it that seemed pretty irritating, the main one being the separation of variable declarations and code (similar to the original C spec). It also took me way too long to figure out how to properly construct an 'if-then-else' block without the compiler complaining about the syntax. Can't say I would probably use it in a new project.
