Is there some independent definition of the term "Object Pascal" ? I 
don't suppose so. So they are right to claim that they are compatible to 
Object pascal :) .

But If you call their Oxygen code "Delphi Language" they in fact will 
get angry :) :) :) .

Of course Oxygen is a lot less compatible to Delphi than FP is. They are 
greatly CIL centric - though happily not really .NET centric as they 
explicitly do support Mono and Linux. That is why the strict 
create...free mechanism is not used there (as the CIL framework performs 
the garbage control for the application) and thus the code can be a lot 
different. OTOH they claim that "Delphi for .NET" is not a decent way to 
write CIL code at all.
