Key features of Delphi
Clarity
A clear and comprehensive syntax makes code easily readable. Delphi programming language lies in a fast-learning curve – no wicked symbols with different meanings in different contexts.
Simplicity
The famous drag-and-drop mechanism for GUI implementation, including non-visual components, allows the developer to build the software quickly as the objects’ creation is already done.
Depth
Although a developer can write an application while staying on a higher level, Delphi allows for intensive manual work. It is even possible to write Assembly Code between the Pascal lines.
Speed
Delphi is fast, and its latest versions are even faster.
Long-term feasibility
Although a developer can write an application while staying on a higher level, Delphi allows for intensive manual work. It is even possible to write Assembly Code between the Pascal lines.
Adaptability
VCL and FMX frameworks can be adapted according to developers' needs. You can use an existing visual control or a non-visual component to create a new one, enhancing or directing its way of working. Also, it supports the entire Windows API and results in native windows .exe files that run even under Vine emulation in Linux.
Cross-platform
There is no need to keep and maintain distinct codes in different languages for different platforms. The same code suits Windows, Android, macOS, iOS, and Linux platforms. Developers may use compiler directives to cover specific areas on the target platform itself.
Up to date
Delphi (programming language) gets frequent updates with minimal need for maintenance from the developers' side. To ensure support for new Windows or Android versions, you need to move code from one Delphi version to another. Third-party components are also updated as soon as the new version is out.
