With ''Turbo Pascal'' version 5 Borland added [[Object Oriented Programming|object orientation]] to Pascal.

However, Borland later decided it wanted more elaborate object-oriented features, and started over in Delphi using the ''Object Pascal'' draft standard proposed by Apple as a basis. (This Apple draft isn't a formal standard yet.) Borland also called this ''Object Pascal'' in the first Delphi versions, but changed the name to [[Delphi programming lanugagelanguage]] in later versions. The main changes compared to the older OOP extensions were a reference-based object model, virtual constructors and destructors, and properties. There are several other compilers implementing this dialect: see [[Delphi programming lanugagelanguage]].
