Disclaimer: I've made LEDs blink with an Arduino and I think microcontrollers are cool, but I'm an embedded systems noob for sure :)

I poked around the FAQ a bit and I'm kinda confused about this.

Do you write bare-metal Pascal programs in this? I.e., do you write a Pascal program that uses Ultibo libraries to run without a separate operating system?

How is the resulting program different from a unikernel?

I think I'm mostly confused about why the IDE is bare-metal (why not write your Pascal programs in a normal environment and then run it bare metal on your RPi)D

Yes, that's exactly how it works.

I think that's essentially what Ultibo is.

You do run the IDE in a normal environment and then run it on your RPi. See below for a better description of how it works...
