I would love to see somebody else do similar with other languages.
Frankly, I think that sort of thing could be done with any of the
classic "4GLs"- in effect, application-specific BASICs.
Object Pascal differs in two ways: first in that it's got a
well-thought-out underlying language, which despite continued
enhancement is still somewhat regular, and second in that it's arguably
complete enough that it can be used as a system programming language. My
own experience indicates that as soon as you start using a 4GL or
similar for anything that the implementors didn't think of you're in
very deep water.
