If you like Pascal as a learning language (which would make sense, as
that's what the language was designed for), then what about Object
Pascal for OO? Apparently, Object Pascal has spread beyond Delphi and
there are now free compilers for it available, so you wouldn't be
consigning yourself to vendor lock-in.
