OIC! Right, sorry. I think your wording was a bit

If by "a bit", you mean "completely", you're right. :)
I think someone else has already said all I know -
that, IIRC, you
could write extensions for VB in Delphi, whereas you could not in VB
itself. Yes, I think Delphi is a full-blown, proper, compiled language
and in principle you could write anything in it. I vaguely recall
maybe hearing about compiler projects and even OS projects attempted
in it.
The guy that wrote Trumpet Winsock figured out a process for writing
device drivers in Delphi a few years ago. Up to that point it was "common
knowledge" that such a thing was impossible.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
