I think the best choice for OS projects is GNU C compiler and FreePascal
(in this order).

The FB developers will say to you stick with C/C++, If I could vote for,
I suggest FreePascal, since I can code in Pascal but not on C ;-)

I think if you have such desire, you could ask on fb-devel, since there
are plans to integrate a lot of functions into FB (see FB 2.0 Roadmap).

And take a look on the other UDF libs.

I think you should know, but just in the case....

see you !
