I believe that not many developers really wanted C++ and craved Object Pascal instead. I don't like Pascal but I have to admit that Object Pascal is a succint and successful addition of OO to a manually memalloc language, whereas C++ is neither.

As someone that went from Turbo Pascal to C++, while enjoying Borland's ecosystem, the reasoning was clear. A programming language that at a time offered similar security and features, with much better portability. Never was a big C fan, with Object Pascal and C++ on my toolbox.
