I kind of did this summer. Not rally TP but free pascal,
and lazarus, in order to connect to an xbox kinect,
and get some distance info from it - in order to control a drone.
The interface and sample was in pascal (and c/c++/.net/python)

(I the end I had no luck with controlling the drone)

But I was very disappointed on the Pascal language.
I started to learn Pascal in the early 90'ies,
and memory tends to forget about the bad parts, glorifing the good.

I missed a couple of Ada constructs right away
* I don't like one-line if statements
* I don't like one-line for loop statements
* I don't like fixing it with begin/end
* I don't like having just 'end' instead of 'end if'/'end loop' etc
* I don't like pragmas to change short-circuit if a and b behavior

and a lot of other things.
I did like the Lazarus environment though.
