There are many books and resources about Pascal out there, but too many of them
talk about the old Pascal, without classes, units or generics.
So I wrote this quick introduction to what I call modern Object Pascal. Most of the
programmers using it don’t really call it "modern Object Pascal", we just call it "our
Pascal". But when introducing the language, I feel it’s important to emphasize that it’s
a modern, object-oriented language. It evolved a lot since the old (Turbo) Pascal that
many people learned in schools long time ago. Feature-wise, it’s quite similar to C+
+ or Java or C#.
• It has all the modern features you expect — classes, units, interfaces, generics…
• It’s compiled to a fast, native code,
• It’s very type safe,
• High-level but can also be low-level if you need it to be.
