Object Pascal is a wonderful programming language! It is easy to read and understand while giving you a full array of modern object oriented language features.  Strings are easy to work with, constructors are virtual, functions can be nested - these are only some of the goodies that come with the language.

I am by no means "religious" when it comes to languages though. It all depends on the project that one works on. The framework that one works with is much more important than the language itself in my opinion.

Object Pascal got popularized by the development environment called Delphi. It was initially created by Borland. If you programmed in the 80's or early 90's - chances are - you used Turbo Pascal (procedural Pascal) which was Borland's best product at the time. They later evolved the idea of IDE into a modern language and framework.
