It didn't, despite all its management failures, several companies are still buying into Delphi (Object Pascal evolved from Turbo Pascal/Apple's Object Pascal), and there is at least an yearly conference in Germany.

Then there is still FreePascal, Mikroe Pascal and RemObjects Pascal to chose from.

And now also Micron, which re-added Pascal features to Oberon (https://github.com/rochus-keller/micron/).

Ah, yeah, have to play with it sometime. TODO list is rather long. :)

The project is rather cool.
