Gave it a play on QEMU, seems the latest image of Gloire (A simple UI variant of Ironclad) is not wanting to boot on my QEMU. Will give it a few months and play with it again, looks interesting enough.
Would definitely be an interesting contender for use in safety-critical environments where Ada/SPARK are favored.
Interesting article. If we don't restrict to Unix-compatible userlands, there are many more impressive operating system kernels written in Pascal or its descendants, e.g. the UCSD p-System, Lisa OS and the Classic Macintosh OS. Windows at least used the Pascal calling convention in its 32 bit versions (though the system itself was not written in Pascal).
