The one nice thing about .NET is that it allows for you to code in
"Delphi.NET" and someone to use your work in C# or whatever.

FYI:

http://www.gotdotnet.com/team/lang/

Lists all of the .NET languages that people are working on.

Supposedly here is the pascal work:

http://www.citi.qut.edu.au/research/plas/projects/cp_files/ComponentPascal.html

But their web site doesn't respond.

There may be one other Pascal.NET project out there somewhere.

Just promise us that you won't start coding in Cobol.NET.
