Free Pascal does a lot of great things with libraries that are built in.

At a former job I used it to find and grab new orders from an SSL website,
parse the JSON order data, send the order over to an accounting system and
print custom reports without anything but some libraries from the base
install. Basically replaced an employee's worth of work during the slow part
of the year and 4 or 5 during the busy part..

Would most companies want a Pascal solution? Probably not.. I don't work
there anymore so they had to find someone to either work on it or replace it.
Their accounting system is pretty stable, but keeping an open source  web
store with thousands of visitors a day up-to-date means the API might just
be incompatible at any moment.

Still, it's neat to know little old Pascal is reliable enough to save/make
you a ton of money :)
