Everything from Ada to ZOPL is available, frequently at no cost, on both Windows and Linux. GNU Pascal and Free Pascal are both available on both platforms, for free, and implement the Object Pascal language as well as a number of Delphi extensions. Free Pascal in particular has an IDE very similar to that of Turbo Pascal. If you like Pascal, use Pascal! There's no need to abandon your first love :-) .
