Indeed. As an OS X user and Free Pascal list lurker, it seems to me that th=
e Free Pascal Compiler (FPC) community is sort of a parallel universe to th=
e Ada community, both using a good but modestly popular language. From my p=
erspective as an OS X user (who rarely uses FPC), the FPC folks have manage=
d to do some great things. Lazarus runs natively, there is an extremely goo=
d plug-in for TextMate, and they manage to keep a great plug-in for Apple's=
 Xcode even though Xcode doesn't officially support plug-ins and even thoug=
h Apple keeps the sand shifting beneath FPC's feet.
