In short, I'm still willing to take the task of doing some open source Delphi/Chrome/whatever compiler, but only if we have backing of Miguel.

If mono is that important for you, I guess you should have - not everyone on this list knows all the things Miguel knows or has decided..
I have no interest in either pascal, delphi, or any of this, but for what it is worth the Chrome guys have been around for a while. They have spoken to me about MonoDevelop integration, and have posted many times on this mailing list. One of the guys hangs out in #mono very frequently too, so as far as 'not telling the mono community', I don't think that is accurate in the least.

This is quite interesting. I've gone back and searched my archive of the list looking for references to Chrome, Pascal, Delphi, etc.
While I found several people asking if there was support for Pascal or if it was planned, there was not a single message about compatible, existing solutions. Not commercial, open source, or even vaporware.
This doesn't mean that it didn't happen, my archive isn't all that old.
And to paraphrase Todd:
I have no interest in any Proprietary, Closed Source, Compiler technology. Closed Source without cost is just another way of promoting product lock-in, while giving warm-fuzzies to those who only look at the superficial level.
Oh well, I'll stop my rant now.
