You probably won't go back.

Well, you haven't collected much helpful advice yet, and I'm not here 
to change that. But, I don't see why you should be obliged to learn C 
if you're happy with pascal (isn't it lower case?) and the kind of 
projects you'll be working on don't stretch the microcontroller's 
resources. Maybe you could say more about your intent for pascal on 
an AVR. Are you working on commercial projects or just for your own 
interest? Will you use a big AVR such as the ATmega64 or a little one 
with much less memory? This would help us give the right advice.
