Not all objects are references, because Delphi still supports the Turbo Pascal object model for compatibility, regardless of how many years they are deprecated

Not all objects are references, because Delphi still supports the Turbo Pascal object model for compatibility, regardless of how many years they are deprecated now. Agree with the rest, I always loved how Borland picked Object Pascal extensions from Apple, merged them with what was going on with Modula languages and C++ during the 1990's, while coming out with something saner. While at the same time keeping C++ around, as market value when buying the whole package. What everyone is going crazy regarding Zig, Odin, Jai, C3, whatever improvements over C and C++, where already available in Delphi, Modula-2, Ada and co, with Delphi being the most affordable option until Borland decided to pivot to big corp.
