Right, OK.  I assumed incorrectly that you brought it up because you were a fan of the system and were using it for embedded stuff.
My bad.

Ultibo is not my project. I discovered it only because someone wrote a CP/M emulator in the environment. I assume Pascal was chosen because it's considered the "perfect" language due to its structured style and ease of use. Pascal is sometimes studied for programming theory for the same reason.

Regardless, it's all compiled to machine code anyway, so even a made-up programming language could have been implemented.

Hello:

Pascal & Pi?  You sent me through a rash of searches and web links to figure that out.
I had no idea a Pascal derived from Borland lived on and thrived, let
alone was some folks choice even on embedded development.
The list of the supported environments on the Free Pascal wiki is fully shocking to me.
The list of software produced with it is not so long on the wiki, but I have used
one on the list PeaZip it works very well and of course had no idea of its underpinnings.

What are you implementing with it?  Why have you stuck with Pascal?  Its fascinating to me.
