You are right regarding Delphi, I just omitted the part where Borland tools used to get out of sync with Windows SDK.

I stopped at Turbo Pascal for Windows 1.5, because by Delphi 1.0 time-frame I was at the university and wanted something UNIX friendly so went C++.

I knew C and C++ still from MS-DOS, never liked C in regard to what Turbo Pascal could offer, hence C++.

Also I got eventually fed up of writing Pascal wrappers for all WIndows APIs not provided by Borland.
