No disrespect intended, but one or two people hardly constitute
a "hotbed," even for the gs, much less a viable market. I did
not say that no pascal programming was being done. But, based
on cba2 postings, it is a far smaller community than asm or c.
When evaluating the commercial potential of a product, one
must consider the market size at least as much the product
quality.

Unless someone wishes to conduct a survey of gs programmer's
language of choice, this is all speculation anyway.
