What things that were previously done in assembly do you mean?

I remember Delphi nicely allowed including C++ files and assembly in the project too, so there's that. It is a very wordy language, but apart from the need to separate declarations and implementation, was pretty nice to use, and powerful.

Many kinds of byte or bit-level operations. I don't have access to much Turbo Pascal code, but it was always Pascal with a lot of inline assembly for specific things. Just found this using google, for example, https://github.com/nickelsworth/swag/blob/7c21c0da2291fc249b...

This kind of code was pretty typical.
