Acorn were huge fans of it at one time and used it heavily for OS work. I
think that's the only place I've come across it being used, personally. I
wonder if any other company ever tried to use it for OS development...
Turbo Pascal supported all sorts of OO features, though - I've never figured
out quite what Delphi brought to the table.

I conversed
with a dude who did some work w/another early OO
language, Modula-2.
Modula-2 wasn't OO. It was procedural with modules (hence the
"modula"). It was an attempt to rectify the shortcomings of Pascal
and influenced things like Ada. Delphi
ain't too bad from what I hear. That's Pascal.
Delphi is Pascal with object oriented features tossed in explicitly.
