* The [[Oxygene (programming language)|Oxygene]] language developed by [[RemObjects Software]] targets the [[Common Language Infrastructure]], the [[Java (software platform)]] Runtime Environment and [[Apple Inc.|Apple]]'s [[Cocoa (API)|Cocoa]] frameworks for [[iOS]] and [[macOS]].

* The [[open source]] [[Free Pascal]] project allows the language to be compiled for a wide range of [[operating system]]s, including [[Linux]] ([[32-bit]], [[64-bit]]), [[FreeBSD]], [[Classic Mac OS]], [[macOS]], [[Solaris (operating system)|Solaris]], [[Windows API]] (32, 64, [[Windows CE|CE]]), the [[ARM architecture|ARM]] [[instruction set architecture]] (ISA), and several other hardware architectures. The first version of Free Pascal for the [[iPhone]] [[software development kit]] (SDK) 2.''x'' was announced on January 17, 2009.<ref name="fpciphone">{{cite web |title=iPhone/iPod development |publisher=Free Pascal development team |url=http://wiki.freepascal.org/iPhone/iPod_development |access-date=2009-04-13}}</ref>

* The Smart Pascal language<ref name="asmartbook">{{cite webbook|title=A Smart Book|date=18 May 2012|publisher=Leanpub|url=https://leanpub.com/asmartbook}}</ref> targets [[ECMAScript]]–[[JavaScript]] and is used in Smart Mobile Studio, written by Jon Lennart Aasenden and published by Optimale Systemer (2012). The language greatly simplifies [[HTML5]] development through object-oriented, and [[rapid application development]] (RAD) methods. Smart Pascal integrates tightly with established technologies such as [[node.js]], Embarcadero [[DataSnap]], and [[Remobjects SDK]] to produce high-performance [[client–server model]] web applications. The language allows easy creation of visual components and reusable libraries. The Smart Pascal dialect stems from the DWScript language, extended to better integrate with the JavaScript environment and libraries, such as <code>asm</code> sections which are plain JavaScript but have access to Pascal symbols, or ''external'' classes which map directly to prototypal JavaScript classes. Smart Pascal introduces true inheritance, classes, partial classes, interfaces, a [[virtual method table]] and many other advanced constructs which are not a part of JavaScript by default.

* [[MIDletPascal]] runs on a [[Java virtual machine]] (JVM) [[bytecode]] platform; which Free Pascal also targets, with far more features.

* The [[Morfik]] Pascal language, developed by Morfik, targets [[Ajax (programming)|Ajax]]-enabled Web applications. The compiler is built into the company's AppsBuilder IDE and allows Object Pascal code to be used in implementing code to execute in a browser or server. It uses the [[Free Pascal]] compiler to generate native binaries from Object Pascal.
