The IDE was also quite good for the time.
It was my favorite programming language until I was forced into C and C++ land.
Nowadays I am just another polyglot developer, but the Pascal family of languages has a special place on my heart.
I think the software would be safer would one language of that family be the default systems language for mainstream operating systems.
And a great built-in debugger. And Borland Pascal 7 even had protected mode support. I still get nostalgic when I see screenshots of Turbo Pascal.

Indeed, there were better languages in the Pascal family (e.g. Modula-2 and Oberon), but they gained much traction. I did write some OS/2 programs with the Canterbury Modula-2 compiler.
A nice experience that it is possible to have desktop operating systems written in GC enabled system programming languages, contrary to what many people think.
Sadly not well known outside the Zurique's Technical University (ETHZ) or the institutes that work with them.
I liked in the experience back in the mid-nineties and I am a bit of Oberon collector.
What you need to do is make a decent 'unwrapping' video and then talk about how the object system worked e.g. widgets.
That'd get some attention here.
