This is what caused me eventually to move from Turbo Pascal to C++ during the Windows 3.1 time frame.

I started to get fed up with writing bindings to libraries not directly supported by Turbo Pascal and pure C was a no go for me.

I am a recent convert to C++ for the same reason (though not from Pascal but other high level languages like Prolog). I wrote my own Prolog interpreter with minimal footprint so I can still get an interactive prompt with a high level interface if I want to, but it is designed to be easy to expose C++ instead of the other way around.
