I think it is more fair to say it will disappear from the Delphi compiler than the Object Pascal language. With all these other compilers now supporting the Borland extended version of Apple's original dialect, they don't have full claim on the language anymore.

Some compilers that now use the Object Pascal standard in some form are: Chrome, Delphi, Kylix and Free Pascal.
