Java Alternatives
Java is described as 'General-purpose computer programming language that is concurrent, class-based, object-oriented, and specifically designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible' and is a leading programming language in the development category. There are more than 50 alternatives to Java for a variety of platforms, including Linux, Windows, Mac, BSD and Web-based apps. The best Java alternative is Python, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like Java are JavaScript, C++, C# and Rust.

Object Pascal doesn't force Class based OOP, and allows for alternatives like Records. As a Hybrid language, programmer has choices on how to use OOP. Does not have the multiple inheritance/diamond problem with OOP like other languages. Easier language to learn and understand. Cross compiles to many different OSes. As fast as C/C++.
