i kind of hate that OjectiveC killed ObjectPascal and that we don't have a mainstream modern kernel written in Pascal.

Object Pascal was sadly mostly gone by the time NeXT was acquired, C++ was the main Apple language already.

Object Pascal got replaced with MPW environment, and a C++ version of Toolbox got introduced.

Additionally Metrowerks with the PowerPlant C++ framework, was eventually the main Apple partner for Mac OS development.
