Delphi is what I use.  There's also Free Pascal http://www.freepascal.org/

As far as compatibility goes, I'm not sure.  I've only used Delphi
professionally within the past 5 years.  You'd be amazed at whats written in
it.  The one thing I really like about Delphi 5-7 is the native code.  Talk
about tiny!  Especially if you roll your own forms with Win32 API calls...!
