Line 20: Among Delphi's strengths are its easy learning curve, consistent language architecture, a blazingly fast compiler, great execution speed, modern language constructs, its extensive Visual Component Library (VCL), and the associated visual form designer. The Delphi XE2 version added support for 64-bit applications. It also added a cross platform compiler and component library allowing it to create cross platform applications for Mac OS X and iOS~~. The iOS support is actually achieved using the Free Pascal compiler~~. ==Variants== * [[Free Pascal]] is an open source version of Delphi that emulates (to a limited degree) the language. The Lazarus IDE and libraries emulates the RTL ([[wp:runtime library\|runtime library]]) and VCL. * Embarcadero, and Borland before it, experimented with using the "Delphi" name to brand tools based on other languages. Examples include Delphi for [[:Category:PHP\|PHP]] which was renamed RAD PHP, and Delphi Prism, which was renamed Embarcadero Prism. The latter makes use of the [[wp:Oxygene (programming language)\|Oxygene]] dialect of Pascal provided by RemObjects Software, to build cross platform .NET and Mono applications. * There is also Delphi/400 which is actually the main Embarcadero Delphi product repackaged with AS/400 and sold by SystemObjects. * [[DWScript]] is a Delphi-hosted script engine that implements most of the Delphi language, along with FreePascal/Oxygene extensions. ==See Also==
