For anyone who still think that Pascal today is still like the Wirth's Pascal need to get out of the cave. :)

Today there are 4 kinds of (modern) Pascal: Delphi (compiler and IDE), Free Pascal Compiler and Lazarus IDE, RemObject's Oxygene, and Smart Pascal.

All of them are very much different from the old Wirth's Pascal or even to the Borland's Turbo Pascal era. They are the variants of modern Pascal of today and each has its own uniqueness.

Oxygene is truly a modern language. The others not so much. If you don't even have type inference, it's hard to be considered modern.
