The funny or strange thing about people claiming Object Pascal is dead, is they have been doing so for at least the last 20 years. It got so crazy and reckless, that people were claiming the actor, Pedro Pascal, was dead too.

Yet, despite all this hoping for Pascal (the language) to die, Embarcadero keeps making money selling Delphi (dialect of Object Pascal). Not to mention, their being all kinds of various other dialects in use: Free Pascal, PascalABC.NET, Oxygene, Blaise (brand new compiler)[1], etc...

I'm specifically referring to Rust kicking Pascal out of the top ten, as per the article.

Don't forget Lazarus, bringing the rest of the capabilities of Delhi to the Free Pascal compiler, while also being self aware of the Pascal-is-dead joke.
