PascalABC.NET
open-in-new
<p>PascalABC.NET is a <a href="/facts/High-level_programming_language/smjECUhx">high-level</a> <a href="/facts/General-purpose_programming_language/LyA5zR3M">general-purpose</a> <a href="/facts/Programming_language/cWTYbgWa">programming language</a> supporting multiple paradigms. PascalABC.NET is based on <a href="/facts/Delphi_(software)/mAqCJnqm">Delphi</a>'s <a href="/facts/Object_Pascal/cuGkuISv">Object Pascal</a>, but also has influences from <a href="/facts/C_Sharp_(programming_language)/UC2gxeyb">C#</a>, <a href="/facts/Python_(programming_language)/YbuGqofa">Python</a>, <a href="/facts/Kotlin_(programming_language)/CrAqIFLn">Kotlin</a>, and <a href="/facts/Haskell/ydEsHuGy">Haskell</a>. It is distributed both as a command-line tool for Windows (<a href="/facts/.NET/PDMQdfFu">.NET</a> framework), Linux and MacOS (Mono), and with an <a href="/facts/Integrated_development_environment/jbEINSQf">integrated development environment</a> for Windows and Linux, including interactive debugger, <a href="/facts/Intelligent_code_completion/E25moVCY">IntelliSense</a> system, <a href="/facts/Graphical_user_interface_builder/nEGfulUQ">form designer</a>, code templates and code auto-formatting. </p><p>PascalABC.NET is implemented for the <a href="/facts/.NET/PDMQdfFu">.NET</a> framework platform, so that it is compatible with all .NET libraries and utilizes all the features of <a href="/facts/Common_Language_Runtime/4Y0cUdkd">Common Language Runtime</a>, such as <a href="/facts/Garbage_collection_(computer_science)/j2vlIu7g">garbage collection</a>, <a href="/facts/Exception_handling/VrJxgb9r">exception handling</a>, and <a href="/facts/Generic_programming/kqtqJk7p">generics</a>. Some language constructions, e.g. tuples, sequences, and lambdas, are based on regular .NET types. PascalABC.NET is ideologically close to <a href="/facts/Oxygene_(programming_language)/Q1yHwpR1">Oxygene</a>, but unlike it, provides high compatibility with <a href="/facts/Delphi_(software)/mAqCJnqm">Delphi</a>. </p>
