+1 for Oxygene mode. An Oxygene mode to me will be like early Christmas and

I disagree that modernizing Pascal is making it into a C++ clone.
It depends on how you do it.
What is being introduced with management operators is RAII.
(Resource Acquisition Is Initialization)
This concept (using copy/clone constructors etc.) comes from C++.
Javascript doesn't have it. Python also not (to my knowledge).
And these are so-called 'modern' languages.
