Delphi IS an IDE, how can something be more than an IDE? I don't get what you mean. Maybe a software development package? And Delphi is a derivative of Borland's Object Pascal, my apologies since that is what I meant on my post earlier. [/quote]

Wirth had nothing to do with Delphi, and structured programming isn't necessarily object-oriented.

I never said he did, he created Pascal, Object Pascal is a derivative of Pascal, and Delphi is a derivative of Object Pascal. Delphi was created in 94 as a successor of Turbo Pascal (the tool used to program in that language) Also, to point out I never said that structured programming is the same as object-oriented. I only wanted to give the idea to our users that everything was connected, and all came from one place(Wirth and the creation of Pascal) since then, Object Pascal came out and so did Delphi.

Besides that, I'm curious to know what Wirth's role was in "creating" structured programming. Most accounts put the credit with Dijkstra.

To answer your question, Niklaus introduced the concept of structured programming in 1971.

There are certainly limits.

Limit is a word that is rarely used in the world of programming.
