Pascal was the systems language that I cut my teeth in when I was a mere thirteen year old struggling to wrap my head around the intricacies of C/C++. For that, it'll always have a special place in my heart and I always get a fuzzy feeling seeing real applications built in it.
Similar for me, Delphi 2.0/3.0 was the first time I built something where I thought that looks like normal software. (Getting a hello world running in C++ at the time seemed like a menial task.)
