Yes I'm quite aware of the history but the fact that borland/embarcadero choses to call both delphi doesn't really change what I said though, every where besides the marketing of this IDE clearly considers object pascal [1] as the language (with several implementations/compilers), and delphi [2] as the IDE.
Delphi's own documentation, once you're past the marketing naming on the box, makes it clear that the language is object pascal.

- pjmlp 13y agoSo it seems I need to post some links to official documentation. <quote>The Delphi Language Guide describes the Delphi language as it is used in RAD Studio development tools. </quote> http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE6/en/Delphi_Language_Guide_Index http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE6/en/Delphi_Langu... <quote>Delphi is a high-level, compiled, strongly typed language that supports structured and object-oriented design. Based on Object Pascal, </quote> http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE6/en/Language_Overview http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/XE6/en/Language_Ove... The current language is based on Object Pascal, which is quite different from being Object Pascal, which was quite different back in the Turbo Pascal and early Delphi days. I don't know Delphi and Turbo Pascal history from Wikipedia, I lived through it, from Turbo Pascal 3.0 up to Delphi version 3.
