I like the idea, need to check what information I could provide.
Wirth's books about Oberon also provide similar information.

I really really think that mankind did a wrong turn when C won over Pascal

And that Wirth somehow lost interest in the industry and did not try to
push
Modula-* or Oberon. There are some papers where he states this.
Now we suffer from
- daggling pointers
- buffer overflows
- pre-historic compiler toolchains
With luck, Spec#, Go or more nicely D, will put us back on track.
we should collect all the advantages of turbo pascal/delphi
object-file-formats and make a small description post to show others in
a clear understandable way how good/and longlife these technics are
so the unit-system (turbo pascal: .pas -> .tpu, delphi: .pas->.dcu, free
pascal: .pas -> ppu), the tpumover, ppumover for tpl or ppl libraries,
the dll delphi solution .bpl
and the advantage of controling the output of source inside the source
program -> exe, unit -> object, library -> dynamic libray etc.
any ideas how to start?
