Delphi equivalent in Scheme ?

Is there a Delphi equivalent in the C world or Scheme/LISP world ?

Recently, Delphi is in resurgence. In Russia people are using like
crazy. For example, Bolega has written a free image processing
program
scankromsator in delphi because its easy to write a gui. In arabia
people are using it also.


Also delphi, I heard delphi allows visual programming and delphi
programs run on:


linux
win2k
winxp
vista


I heard that its a lot easier than MFC, and C# and so on.


The only think I worried is the PASCALISH syntax. Can any of you tell
me if there is an alternative in C world and the pros and cons
because
I am used to C syntax.

Also I write in LISP

What you're asking is for an fully featured IDE complete with Form
Designer with data-aware widgets, report generators, module browsers,
semantic auto-complete, refactoring tools, integrated debugger and one-
click compile-build-run cycle? Not really. Perhaps Franz Common Lisp
offering, but frankly, not even most popular java IDEs come as packed
full and with such ease of use as Delphi. The Form Designer alone
beats the socks out of the (little) competition.

In the C++/Java/C# world there are Eclipse, Netbeans and Visual Studio
to do a lot of automatic code generation for you. Lisp, Haskell and
OCaml people are all poetic craftsmen who don't really care for lowly
peasant tools helping them increase their productivity by limiting
their options and creative freedom.

Actually, there is one. It's a commercial scheme-like language,
for windows only I think. But I can't remember it's name.

C++ Builder?

Delphi programs might run under Wine or Mono, but that is not the same
as saying they run on Linux. Delphi produces Windows programs exclusively.

What worries you about that? Maybe we can alleviate those worries, and
then you won't have to hunt for something else that has all the other
features you like in Delphi.

Spell your braces as "begin" and "end," put your function and variable
types after the names, declare your variables before all the code in a
subroutine, and don't use the preprocessor, and you've nearly learned
the differences between C and Delphi syntax.

Please try to recall the name, I am very interested

Rob, very kind of you to say this. The way my brain works is that I
would
like a side by side exhaustive comparison of C/C++ and pascal/
objective-pascal
to fix the ideas in my mind. Its like teaching old people new tricks.

I think this is a good start. I would like it to be continued a little
more
to see the forms and examples to make sure I dont make any errors in
telling
the computer the instructions.

Have a look at my ToPas project <http://sourceforge.net/projects/topas/>
that is an attempt to translate C code into Delphi.

Yes, that's probably the one.

Delphi is just an IDE. It works out-of-the-box with Objective Pascal
and C++.
