"...no OOP language today supports a RAD environment and vice versa. At
this point you can only gain the benefits of true OOP at the cost of more
programmer hours per project."

You misunderstand what? Object Pascal (coming in a box written Delphi on
it) is a so called hybrid language, as opposed to Smalltalk which is
considered a true object oriented language.

There are many characteristics to distinguish one OOPL from the other.
For example, (Borland) Pascal 7 was "object based" while (Object) Pascal
8 (the one driving Delphi) is "class based".

Don't worry.
