mikroPascal is nice - I'm still using the free (restricted code size) demo but may well buy it.
Can you point in a few words which are the mikroPascal weak features compared with jal ? I have the feeling I've understand those even I've only take a brief look to the mikroPascal compiler.
I'm a Pascal user from way back (Delphi v1.0 - 2006, Kylix v1-3, but now Free Pascal/Lazarus as it's multi-platform), but I've only been a JAL user for a very, very short time (ie I've flashed a LED and played with USB on a Jaluino, but nothing more as yet). Most of my PIC programming has been in C (which I learnt in the simpler times of the 1980s when I wrote BBS software for DOS).
All of which is to say, I'm not qualified to answer your question :)
The best quality of jal, which I have appreciated since 2000, is the choice of having total control on your libraries and of your written code down to the assembler level. This is extremely important for a guy which writes intimate code for the machine, rather than HLL heavily structured code.
mikroPascal generates an asm file, complete with interspersed Pascal lines rather like JAL.
The last time I was that intimate with a machine was in the 1980s when I was writing 6502 machine code on a Commodore VIC-20... Oh halcyon days of youth!
