FWIW, someone from Metrowerks came up with an Objective Pascal syntax quite a while ago (1997, to be exact):
http://www.pascal-central.com/cwpascal.html#Extensions%20providing% 20compatibili


Some of the functionality mentioned there (such as type introspection, class methods and fields, and messaging) is already possible with Object Pascal today, so would not even need language extensions (although the implementation would obviously need to be changed).

Since there is a complete procedural interface to the low level Objective-C run time, the only reason why it hasn't been implemented yet is because nobody cared enough for it. That may change if no 64 bit Carbon is forthcoming though.
