Is there a modern, supported and preferably cheap equivalent of Turbo Pascal?

I don't want to become a C programmer, but remember enjoying the structured yet fairly comprehensible syntax of Pascal. What choices are available today - the ability to code for Windows and preferably other GUI/OSs a must.





As an aside, if one was to go back to basics with an old copy of Borland Turbo Pascal 5.x, would it be feasible and practicable to write code that makes use of the Windows API?

Have you had a look at Delphi? It's basically Object Oriented Pascal
Reply:You might enjoy learning Python. It has a similar structured yet comprehensive syntax. Libraries are available for most things, including GUI programming on Windows and other platforms. See http://www.python.org, and for a good tutorial see http://www.diveintopython.org
