C# Language Features Not available in Pascal

  • automatic memory management while - not available, except for reference counted types: strings (except for shortstrings), dynamic arrays
  • lambda functions
  • serialization (as syntax language) - you'd need to use explicit functions/procedures to convert to/from data structures
  • LINQ

FPC Language Features not available in C #
