Modern Pascal is a closed source, cross-platform, interpreter, compiler and runtime environment for command line, server-side and networking applications. Modern Pascal applications are written in Pascal/Object Pascal, and can be run within the Modern Pascal runtime on Microsoft Windows, Linux, OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris and DOS/32 operating systems. Its work is hosted and supported by the 3F, LLC and partner MP Solutions, LLC. Modern Pascal provides a blocking I/O API technology commonly used for operating system applications. Modern Pascal CodeRunner contains a built-in library to allow applications to act as a Web server without software such as Apache HTTP Server or IIS. == History == Modern Pascal was invented in 2000 by Ozz Nixon while also co-developing DXJavaScript with Alexander Baronovski. Ozz was inspired by the Kylix project in 1999 where he met with Borland's Pascal Team. programming language. Ozz ported his commercial socket suite DXSock to Kylix then started developing Modern Pascal so he run pascal scripts on Microsoft Windows, Linux and OS X. In 2002, Version 1.1 was released. Modern Pascal v1.1 was capable of running most Turbo Pascal (DOS) syntax. This was the last version using Variants internally as variable and code instances. Version 1.1 introduced support for built-in RTL units, allowing developers to extend the language grammar to support CRT/Display and TCP/IP Socket calls. In 2005, Version 1.2 was released. Modern Pascal v1.2 was available for 64bit platforms, with native 64bit binaries and internal support for 64bit numbers and memory addresses. In 2007, Version 1.3 was released. Modern Pascal v1.3 added cross-platform support for dynamic libraries, .so, .dylib, .DLL. This was the first version capable of developing native Windows GUI Applications, along with Linux Qt GUI Applications. By supporting external libraries the language was no longer limited to the command line or web server script engine role. In 2008, Version 1.4 was released. Modern Pascal v1.4 had a fork internally called DECLAN DEC(isioning) LAN(gauge) for use in the credit and financial industry. Version 1.4 also introduced TDataset compatibility with the Borland Delphi compiler along with the ability to connect to databases via built-in ODBC support. This allows Modern Pascal to leverage almost all SQL database engines for Command Line and Web solutions. In 2009, Version 1.5 was released. Modern Pascal v1.5 was a redesign of the parser phase Lexicon. This is the first version where Modern Pascal started to incorporate syntax from other popular languages like +=, -=, *-, /= from C/JavaScript. Version 1.5 was now available as a native Apache Module for Windows, Linux and OS X. In 2010, Version 1.6 was released. Modern Pascal v1.6 incorporates more built-in RTL units: Ciphers, Compressions, Hashs. This version truly focused on migrating applications to web and needed built in support for common ciphers, hashes and compression algorithms used by RESTful applications. In 2011, Version 1.7 was released. Modern Pascal v1.7 was a redesign of the Apache Module. From this release forward Modern Pascal was no longer built into the Apache Module. Modern Pascal Celerity was introduced, inspired by the design of ColdFusion nTier back end to web servers. This means in a future release FastCGI, ISAPI and even old CGI and NSAPI interfaces could be deployed. Version 1.7 also introduced an old Pascal 3.0 feature called Chaining in a slightly more modern style. In 2013, Version 1.8 was released. Modern Pascal v1.8 introduced support for Delphi-like Classes, Smart Records, Unions and Self Instantiation. Version 1.8 was the first version where Modern Pascal started to truly become its own Pascal Dialect. In 2014, Version 1.9 was built but not released to the public. Modern Pascal v1.9 was used to develop (DevelopIP ), a large scale public web site. In 2015, Version 2.0 has begun. Modern Pascal 2.0 is a complete rewrite from scratch focusing on performance. While previous versions were fast and efficient, they were not fast enough for some of the larger customers. Current benchmarks show v2.0 is processing over 100 million instructions a second - roughly 8 times faster than version 1.9, and much faster than Alternative Pascal script engines. July 2015, Modern Pascal 2.0 enters its final private Beta cycle. The team is actively porting code snippets and old applications to 2.0 and publishing the code on Github. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ModernPascal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
