Editing Object Pascal (section)

==Development==
Many features have been introduced continuously to Object Pascal with extensions to Delphi and extensions to FreePascal. In reaction to criticism, Free Pascal has adopted generics with the same syntax as Delphi, provided Delphi compatibility mode is selected, and both Delphi (partial) and Free Pascal (more extensive) support [[operator overloading]]. Delphi has also introduced many other features since version 7,<ref name="newftrs">{{cite web|title=New Delphi language features since Delphi 7|publisher=CodeGear|url=http://dn.codegear.com/article/34324|access-date=2008-07-06|archive-date=2008-07-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080702184859/http://dn.codegear.com/article/34324|url-status=live}}</ref> including generics. Whereas FreePascal tries to be compatible to Delphi in Delphi compatibility mode, it also usually introduced many new features to the language that are not always available in Delphi.
