Yes, his closed source libraries. But you can write your own pack of libraries and the mikroPascal community already did this. In mikroPascal language you have support for assembler code.
In my opinion, PMP is much better than mikroPascal, the only drawback of PMP being the absence of "dead code removal" feature (the zone where JAL shines, and the reason why is better to have specific libraries instead of universal ones for PMP). Although, PMP is almost as much as JAL in produced code size; but compensate with language features. Somehow, I have the impression that JAL have better "dead code removal" algorithms. Anyway, I'm talking about learning only one (very easy) language and being able to use a large model of microcontrollers: Microchip (Pic12, Pic16, Pic18, Pic24/33, Pic32), AVR(ATtiny, ATmega, Xmega, etc.), 8051. Regarding this, mikroPascal is superior to PMP and JAL. For a beginner is a matter of choosing the right microcontroller for his application (no delays). In my opinion, JAL is brilliant on smaller chips, where you don't need sophisticated language features. It will start to loose this advantage (against PMP) when it will come with support for pointers and floating point math.
