   Free Pascal does a lot of great things with libraries that are built in.   
      
   At a former job I used it to find and grab new orders from an SSL website,   
   parse the JSON order data, send the order over to an accounting system and   
   print custom reports without anything but some libraries from the base   
   install. Basically replaced an employee's worth of work during the slow part   
   of the year and 4 or 5 during the busy part..   
      
   Would most companies want a Pascal solution? Probably not.. I don't work   
   there anymore so they had to find someone to either work on it or replace it.   
   Their accounting system is pretty stable, but keeping an open source  web   
   store with thousands of visitors a day up-to-date means the API might just   
   be incompatible at any moment.   
      
   Still, it's neat to know little old Pascal is reliable enough to save/make   
   you a ton of money :)
