FreeOberon
Cross-platform IDE for development in Oberon programming language made in the classical FreePascal-like pseudo-graphic style.
Quick look at https://github.com/kekcleader/FreeOberon/blob/main/src/make....:
It uses ofront (Oberon-2 to C translator), and let GCC do the heavylifting.
One of my favourite computer games was written in Turbo Pascal: ZZT by Epic Megagames. It was a quircky text-mode game with puzzles, shooting, and a built-in game editor that came even with the free shareware version (it even had a little programming language called ZZT-OOP).
ZZT's original source code was lost. Years later, Adrian Siekierka painstakingly reverse-engineered the original Turbo Pascal code till -- when compiled with the original compiler -- produced a byte-for-byte identical executable. Amazing! Read more:
