PascalABC.NET

PascalABC.NET is a high-level general-purpose programming language supporting multiple paradigms. PascalABC.NET is based on Delphi's Object Pascal, but also has influences from C#, Python, Kotlin, and Haskell. It is distributed both as a command-line tool for Windows (.NET framework), Linux and MacOS (Mono), and with an integrated development environment for Windows and Linux, including interactive debugger, IntelliSense system, form designer, code templates and code auto-formatting.

PascalABC.NET is implemented for the .NET framework platform, so that it is compatible with all .NET libraries and utilizes all the features of Common Language Runtime, such as garbage collection, exception handling, and generics. Some language constructions, e.g. tuples, sequences, and lambdas, are based on regular .NET types. PascalABC.NET is ideologically close to Oxygene, but unlike it, provides high compatibility with Delphi.
