Please, add support for Free Pascal.

Thank you.

I see you left more context here:

Please add support for Pascal programming using Free Pascal. I manage a local Pascal community with thousand of members, including students, which desperately need a free app hosting like codenvy.io that supports Pascal programming language.

Since you seem to have experience with pascal, can you recommend a good language server or a VS Code plugin for free pascal? Those would be helpful to create support for free pascal.

Yes, I'm a long time Pascal programmer. I've been using Pascal language since Turbo Pascal 3.3 to the latest Free Pascal (with Lazarus IDE) and Delphi. And I'm also using VS Code to write Pascal program for non-GUI applications such as web service or web API.

There are 2 popular Pascal extensions for VS Code, Pascal language and OmniPascal. I prefer OmniPascal because it's easier to install. Pascal language extension requires some external tools that you have to install manually.

I believe Gitpod Twitter confirmed Plugin support coming soon so I could do initial support in a stack.
