Differences Between Native Delphi and Oxygene
- unit: Replaced with the namespace keyword. Since Oxygene doesn't compile per-file but per-project, it does not depend on the name of the file. Instead the unit or namespace keyword is used to denote the default namespace that all types are defined in for that file
- procedure and function: These two keywords have been replaced with the method keyword
- overload: In Delphi Prism all methods are overloaded by default, so no special keyword is needed for this
- .Create: This constructor call has been replaced by the new keyword. It can still be enabled in the project options for legacy reasons
- string: Characters in strings are zero-based and read-only. Strings can have nil values, so testing against empty string is not always sufficient.
