But there are really high quality current day implementation, like the one from Embarcadero (i think they acquired Borland a while ago?): https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/features/design

I think nottorp was being a bit sarcastic. I think the point was, if Pascal, which some in the C/C++ world regard as a "toy" language, had this in 1987, maybe we can actually think about having it in "real" languages in 2025.
