===Object Pascal===

During work on the Lisa, [[Larry Tesler]] began corresponding with Wirth on the idea of adding object-oriented extensions to the language, to make Pascal a [[Programming paradigm|Multimulti-paradigm programming language]]. This led initially to [[Clascal]], introduced in 1983. As the Lisa program faded and was replaced by the Macintosh, a further version was created and named [[Object Pascal]]. This was introduced on the Mac in 1985 as part of the [[MacApp]] [[application framework]], and became Apple's main development language into the early 1990s.

The Object Pascal extensions were added to [[Turbo Pascal]] with the release of version 5.5 in 1989.<ref>{{cite web|title=Antique Software: Turbo Pascal v5.5|url=http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/20803|access-date=2018-05-17|archive-date=2010-11-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101124090934/http://edn.embarcadero.com/article/20803|url-status=dead}}</ref> Over the years, Object Pascal became the basis of the [[Delphi (software)|Delphi]] system for [[Microsoft Windows]], which is still used for developing Windows applications, and can [[cross-compile]] code to other systems. [[Free Pascal]] is an open source, cross-platform alternative with its own graphical [[integrated development environment|IDE]] called [[Lazarus (IDE)|Lazarus]].
