Not as my primary language, but I wrote two or three small command-line tools for my own use in recent years. Cross-compilation and platform support is excellent, so it is convenient for writing something once to run on multiple systems as just a static binary without having to mess with installing any dependencies on the target systems.
Sticking to very basic, procedural, non-OO, Pascal though. At its core Free Pascal, like early Turbo Pascal, is very small and simple, even compared to C, and there is value in that, especially since it is also a whole lot safer than C (but still has things like pointers and inline ASM when you need that).
