So I believe that if we will change the name, it might help. What do you think ?
I think it will have very little effect. Just look at D: it's a lot like C (so the C crowd isn't immediately put off by it), it has a "non-offensive" name, it's quite powerful, fixes a lot of C deficiencies, is OOP and yet it's not particularly popular.
It's silly to change the name, especially because the language actually is Object Pascal. Next, we'd have to remove begin/end (that reminds too much of Pascal), allow a semi-colon before "else" (it's typically Pascal that this is not allowed), etc. It's a waste of effort.
