I hadn't read it before, but almost none of the critiques in that article apply to delphi, so someone who takes it as a serious modern day critique clearly knows nothing about delphi.
Right. I just found this comment: "It only took some minor additions and extensions to turn Pascal into something that was found useful for industrial strength programming. Witness Turbo Pascal and VAX Pascal, for example. Kernighan's paper could have taken the angle of "What Pascal Needs to Become a Very Useful Language," which would have come across as less angry."
