Excerpt: Oxygene (formerly known as Chrome) is a programming language developed by RemObjects Software for the Common Language Infrastructure. Oxygene is Object Pascal-based. Compared to the now deprecated Delphi.NET, Oxygene does not emphasize total backward compatibility, but is designed to be a full .NET citizen and leverage all the features and technologies provided by the .NET runtime. Starting 2008, RemObjects Software has licensed its compiler and IDE technology to Embarcadero to be used in their Delphi Prism product. Delphi Prism offers full integration into Visual Studio 2005/2008/2010. If the user doesn't have Visual Studio installed, Oxygene's setup includes the Visual Studio 2008 Shell. The Oxygene language has its origins in Object Pascal in general and Delphi in particular, but was designed to reflect the guidelines of .NET programming and to create fully CLR-compliant assemblies. Therefore not all language features known from Object Pascal / Delphi can be found any longer in Oxygene or only as legacy features. Oxygene is an object-oriented language, which means it uses classes, which can hold data and execute code, to design programs. Classes are "prototypes" for objects, like the idea of an apple is the prototype for the apple you can actually buy in the shop. You know that an apple has a color, and you know that it can be peeled: those are the data and executable "code" for the apple class. Oxygene provides language-level support for some of features of parallel programming. The goal is to use all cores or processors of a computer to improve performance. To reach this goal, tasks have to be distributed among several threads. The .NET framework's ThreadPool class offered a way to efficiently work with several threads. The Task Parallel Library (TPL) was introduced in .NET 4.0 to provide more features fo...
