It came from the first two paragraphs of the Wikipedia page on the
Delphi programming language. Borland wouldn't write about Free Pascal.

Delphi is an IDE, is not a programming language. Its programming language is Pascal, or rather, Object Pascal.

No, it's really more than the IDE. Object Pascal and Delphi aren't the same language now, if they ever really were.

Because it is an object oriented programming (one of the best ones I must add) We must all remember that structured programming was created by the guy who invented the language Pascal, Niklaus Wirth. Therefore, this tell us that Delphi is pretty good at programming object oriented.

I don't see the logic in that conclusion. If Wirth created structured programming, how does it follow that Delphi would be good for object-oriented programming? Wirth had nothing to do with Delphi, and structured programming isn't necessarily object-oriented.
Besides that, I'm curious to know what Wirth's role was in "creating" structured programming. Most accounts put the credit with Dijkstra.

So if you want to have a better idea of what Delphi really is and what it can do. I can start by saying that there are no limits what so ever on what you can create using Delphi. You can program for Win32 as well as Web Based applications. Since Delphi also has tools for it.

There are certainly limits.
