Well, if you need things to do:

I just cannot understand this: What is so holy about the 'parser from
compiler'?
- use it to create a pascal to javascript translator.
- Create a .net backend code generator.
- Create a java bytecode backend code generator.
Aren't all these some form of 'escape route's --from always Pascal to
somewhere else?
I mean, people --of course-- should be given opportunities to escape;
but, what does it say about their concerns about Pascal in the first
place :)

It's not about escaping Pascal, but to grant the language new
possibilities.
On Android phones you can only use Java to access all subsystems of the
device (e.g. GUI). You can access the framebuffer from native code
though, but directly drawing to a memory field is not the same as using
the available GUI classes. It has yet to be found out whether you can
access the JVM from a native application (not a native library which is
loaded by JVM).
Also the new Windows Phone 7 series relies completly on .Net, so our
WinCE cross compiler is completly useless here (the usage of .Net is
enforced by the kernel itself). And Microsoft might also try to prepare
the way for full .Net desktop operating systems. Now that they've
discovered virtualization (Windows 7 XP Mode) the compatibility problems
might stop them no more. We might not see this in Windows 8 and maybe
not in Windows 9 either. But perhaps Windows 10 might be the big breaker
of Win32?
Free Pascal should be able to compile for these plattforms. But I don't
mind to use a completly different RTL and object model that suits the
targeted plattform, I only want to use the language which I believe is
superior to C# and Java.
