Besides FreePascal, I think those of us that like such languages are probably better playing with Ada or Modula-2.

Ada, as it continues to evolve as ISO standard, and there is an official open source compiler (among 7 vendors), and Modula-2 as it got added to the set of GCC frontends, and being the language Wirth actually designed for systems stuff (the uppercase keywords are a downer if not using a proper IDE though).

Naturally Delphi still has lots of goodies.
