During the [[1990s]] compilers that can be re-targeted to different hardware architectures became more prevalent. This allowed for Pascal translation to native machine code that is at the same time easily ported to new hardware.
 
With ''Turbo Pacal'' version 5 Borland added [[Object Oriented Programming|Object Orientation]] to Pascal forming the ''Object Pascal'' dialect. Their main language from [[1996]] on, [[Delphi programming language|Delphi]] is in turn based on this.
 
Wirth also developed [[Modula-2 programming language|Modula-2]], a language similar to Pascal which also supports object oriented programming.
