It’s not about objects as much as record inheritance (which as I was told will not be happening). I don’t see why Pascal got left out of this one particular thing but since we’ve always had objects it only makes sense to keep them up to date. Not sure why there would be any resistance to this. Making a mode switch for “advanced objects” seems sensible enough to me (unless you want to make a whole new keyworld like “struct” or something).
