I think paragraphs 2 and three are a marketing rationalization!

The LANGUAGE *is* DELPHI!!! It grew out of Object Pascal.

Call it Delphi!!!

Posting in a thread months to late to say;-

Delphi = Object pascal;

Delphi != PHP;

I like PHP. I do it for a living. When I say to others in the industry "I’ll code this in Delphi", they don’t say "PHP?" They assume I mean Borlands lovely Pascal derivative.

There is a Computing services group in France called Optium but it’s one of the worth.

But how about XXPas ?

Opium

Why? because if you have to abbreviate, rather invent a new name which meaningfully represent its true nature, like Opium, because it has always been so addictive.

Then, if you want to, create some words for the acronym it stands for, like:

"Object Pascal in Ultimate Mode"

It really doesn’t matter much. All IT has always been about non-sensical expressions and hype. People who never speak simple english in anyway.

Object Pascal for Delphi.

A proper name which carries the product with dignity while honoring it’s founders!

In the mid eighties at CERN (Europendn Center for Nuclear Research)where I was working a couple of collegues of mine Robert Caillau and Brian Carpenter devised a language to help building machine control systems that has the same roots as Delhpi i.e. Wirth Pascal. The language contained many features very handy that I never found again in any other pascal derived language.

the language was called P+. I suggest to retrieve the same name and I hope it will have the same success as HTML that Robert helped to be born some years later

Get it to a standardized, good defined

base so that it could get an convincing

industry standard.

Then you could name it

Pascal3000/01

/01 meaning release 1 and

3000 for far beyond other languages
should be good to memorize

Other suggestion:

HyperPas /01

or this way

Well … I adore Delphi but Delphi is the Environnement and as we all saw is able to manage different languages : Assembler, Pascal (Borland dialect), C++, C# and now PHP. More before Delphi we had Turbo Pascal and Borland Pascal. So maintaning Delphi in the language name doesn’t look very expressive.

But following this logic I may find also Delphi Assisted Pascal with DAP aping or Delphi Driven Pascal which becomes DDP (Donald Duck Pascal … hmm)

So…
