Talk:Object Pascal

- Please see the apple specific compilers (e.g. from http://pascal-central.com/ppl/chapter5.html#Compilers)

- Can TP be seen as object pascal? I mean, while it is Pascal-with-objects, it has a static object model.

- In Borland Object Pascal, the keyword 'object' is supported for compatibility with the object model of Turbo Pascal. (can auto alloc and use new and dispose). I think it should be referenced somewhere in the article.

Afaik Chrome is more an Oberon than an Object Pascal? 88.159.73.216 14:11, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, that is not so. Chrome is definitely not derived from Oberon. It is an extended subset of Borland's Object Pascal dialect. Chris Burrows 01:48, 19 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dangling "others"

"The open source Free Pascal project allows the language to be compiled for Linux, Mac OS X, Win64, Windows CE, and others." These are operating systems, aren't they? If I'm right, perhaps "others" should be changed to "other operating systems." D021317c 00:01, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Description of GNU compiler

"It is the most prolific compiler in terms of operating systems and processors though, and therefore deserves mentioning as a last resort." What does "prolific" mean in this context? That its output is very bulky, or that it has resulted in the greatest number of useful programs? "As a last resort" seems to refer to the decision to mention it, though I suspect the intention was to say that one should only use it as a last resort. D021317c 01:05, 7 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As a last resort if your platform isn't supported indeed. Another remote possibility would be if you need to do OpenMP or other numeric calculation 88.159.72.36 08:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Object Pascal in the Software Market" Section

This was added by an anonymous, and doesn't cite references. Is it even accurate?
