Been a while since I used Delphi, but object was introduced in TurboPascal = Borland Pascal, before Delphi. These are very much like records with methods, but do support virtual methods etc. They can be stack or heap allocated and are not implicitly reference types. In Delphi, the more modern class wass introduced, which is implicitly a reference typa and always heap allocated. Supports properties, among other things that I think object does not. Delphi users will want to use class, not object (which is considered strictly legacy stuff although still supported).
