FreePascal is a open-source compiler which implement the pascal language,  specifically the Borland Turbo Pascal dialect and Delphi. FreePascal is available for most common operating systems, the following operating systems are supported: Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X/Darwin, Mac OS classic, DOS, Win32, Win64, WinCE, OS/2, Netware (libc and classic) and MorphOS. Here the advantages of programming in FreePascal; i decided to use pascal for my programs because the code is portable from linux to windows and because pascal is a very clean language.

To install freepascal in debian run, from console:

# apt-get install fp-compiler fp-units-rtl

For an introducion to language see this good tutorial: FreePasca tutorial.
