It can compille (true binary) the exact same code (write once, compile everywhere) for linux, windows, mac, amiga, gameboy advanced, netware, AVR, OS/2 etc. With some changes to the code it can compile for JVM and Android. Its a kind of Delphi on steroids.
Oh God... the memories...
Pascal was my first actual text programming language. Before that I wrote Batch scripts (used Windows at the time). I started learning Pascal after searching for easy programming languages. The ONLY reason I started learning a programming language was to...
Implement proper Batch text coloring!
If Batch would not suck so much with the fact that you could not color specific text, I don't think I'd program today. I learned little from an old online tutorial and already tried to make a program that could print colored text. Guess how it accepted the input?
From a text file!
I didn't even know about such things as commandline parameters. I had a simple text file with a color code in every line and when the program was executed you could print colored text in Batch. I was about 7/8 years old back then. Those memories, ahh... searching for things in the internet, implementing hacky ways just to print colored text in Batch text games. Never really did anything in Pascal again, as some time later I had my shock when I found out Java is not a magic platform that every computer needs just because but it's a programming language and I was also playing with Scratch. Pascal brings me only good memories, but if I had to write anything in it again, I'd rather make applications for iOS. How excited I was when my program worked. I kept telling about how it works to my mom, knowing she would not understand anyways. It was my first actual program, first computer creation. I now know how a small thing can completely change your life. How could I know when I was 7 years old that my hobby would be programming? That's a little story of my own unrelated to the topic here, which your post made me write. Thanks for making me recall how I started my computer adventure.
