In general, records and classes are inherently the same thing (and in C++ are indeed practically interchangeable).
This model might have been the reason for introducing Object at all, for compatibility with CBuilder.
The only real difference in Delphi/FPC is that records are instantiated in the stack, the objects in the heap,
Like records, Objects can reside in either the stack, heap or even static memory.
and the artificial restriction on record inheritance.
Why inherit when you can't override virtual methods? I convert my Records into Objects, when I want to extend an record.
