PIC32

Is it possible that you will make a Pascal compiler for the PIC32? It seems I will be doing more and more 32-bit controller work in the future; the prices are getting so low that 8-bit uC's (other than perhaps 8051s) aren't as competitive as they once were.

I'd ask about ARM too, but already there are many tools for ARM micros (including FPC, I think). On the other hand, right now there aren't too many options for the PIC32.

Just as a generic question, who here is using ATxmega now? How do Xmegas perform compared with, say, PIC24s (or even PIC32s or small ARMs)?

I need to migrate from plain Atmega to something else, and I'm weighing the options right now. Any feedback would be appreciated.

You left one big advantage out: AVRco fully supports XMega.

The prices do look to be comparable (both less than regular ATmega). Given the price/features ratio, ATmega no longer makes sense for new designs. Also, more and more often I do find myself needing more memory, sometimes higher MIPs too.

I'd rather stick with AVRco anyway - so, I think XMega it is.

Thanks!
