Why use Object Pascal over C++? Ack! Thbbt!
Compared to any other OOPL, C++ is simply ghastly -- a grossly overcomplex mishmash of hacks in the key of C inspired to repent for the multitude of sins that historically bedeviled C, and have since led to a never ending cascade of ill-fated hacks to shoehorn a nearly 50 year old unsafe high level assembly language into the guise of a modern type safe OOPL. History has since shown this to have been a tragically quixotic quest which inevitably and catastrophically spun wildly out of control, mutating and metastasizing into a disgusting chimeric monster that now strikes fear and loathing into the soul of even the most stouthearted digital denizen, who only when lit by the faint glow of a failing CRT, oft have been heard to admit furtively and only under duress in the faintest of whispers:

Ahem. Anyway, that's why I use Pascal.
