Object Pascal was created by Apple for Lisa and Mac OS, with collaboration from Niklaus Wirth.

Borland then adopted it to Turbo Pascal 5.5 for MS-DOS.

Turbo Pascal 6.0 and 7.0 for MS-DOS, followed by Turbo Pascal 1.0 and 1.5 for Windows 3.x took up ideas from C++.

Borland then rebooted Turbo Pascal with Delphi, but to avoid creating too much confusion among Pascal developers, they kept calling their dialect Object Pascal, even though they completly rebooted the object model.

This is how you declare objects in Object Pascal.

    type
        PTPoint = ^TPoint;
        TPoint = object
           x: Integer;
           y: Integer;
        end;
        
    var
      valuePointOnGlobalMemory: TPoint;
      valuePointOnTheHeap: PTPoint;

    begin
      {Can use it right away}
      valuePointOnGlobalMemory.x := 10;
      valuePointOnGlobalMemory.y := 20;
      
      {Need to heap allocate first}
      New(valuePointOnTheHeap);
      valuePointOnTheHeap^.x := 10;
      valuePointOnTheHeap^.y := 20;
      Dispose(valuePointOnTheHeap);
      
      {....}
    end.
