a programming language dialect of the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Pascal|Object Pascal]] programming language, a branch of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object-oriented_programming|object-oriented]] derivatives of [[Pascal]], mostly known as the primary programming language of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embarcadero_Delphi|Embarcadero Delphi]], formerly CodeGear Delphi, Inprise Delphi and Borland Delphi , designed and implemented by [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Hejlsberg|Anders Hejlsberg]], the creator of [[Pascal#TurboPascal|Turbo Pascal]]. As a chief architect at [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borland|Borland]] , Hejlsberg secretly turned Turbo Pascal into an object-oriented application development language, complete with a truly visual environment and superb database-access features. Developer [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Thorpe|Danny Thorpe]] chose the name [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphi|Delphi]], in reference to the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pythia|Oracle at Delphi]].

Delphi pioneered in [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapid_application_development|rapid application development]] by introducing an [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Application_framework|application framework]] and visual window layout designer that drastically reduced application prototyping times of [[GUI]] and Database applications.
