I have used Free Pascal and Lazarus for several production systems over the
last decade or so. The most recent being for the UK Ordnance Survey:

The web interface also uses a DLL behind the scenes that is written in Free
Pascal too. I personally prefer to use Object Pascal for any project and
only swap to some other language if I have to!
Thank you for shared this.
I didn't understand when you said "DLL behind the scenes" using web interface.
If you can explain, I would appreciate.
The OS programmers are using a Windows server (I think with ASP or some
such MS technology). From this they can call the Windows DLL version of
the transform, then pass the results back to the HTML output. I was not
involved in that part of the project, but there is definitely some Free
Pascal generated code running on their server!
Best regards,
