PIC and AVR can be said as the best available platform for hobbyist or academics purpose. I've once tried PIC 16f628 which having ADC with sourceboost is alot better than 8051 since the 8051 core can be said as an old hags (30 years old platform). The problem with Atmel 8051 is that there are a small numbers of classes they offered which is differing from Microchip PIC classes as you can choose the microcontroller based on your needs. Personally I will choose PIC and if gave me other options I will definitely choose AVR. Please see for comparing both microcontrollers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PIC_microcontroller http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_8051 @nitlogic:well I could not certainly say which one is the best for your project, but from my experiences using AVR, PIC, Holtek uC, Freescale HCS08 and Atmel’s 8051.

Very interesting compiler, but I thought Mikroelektronika MicroPascal (http://www.mikroe.com/en/compilers/) for 8051,AVR or PIC is a lot better. If you can duplicate their pascal language than it will be an advantage and if you be able to make it opensource :D. @Igor, I have tried your compiler.

Since you are using pascal compiler for PIC/AVR you might like Turbo51 – my pascal compiler for 8051:
