Proposal for deletion

This is just a commercial version of a compiler for object pascal. Spankman 06:35, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

So is Delphi and it's not being deleted. I think you should RfD this instead of PROD. --Arny 07:59, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Worse, I think the "object pascal" moniker is more marketing than descent. It looks like C# or Java that has been run through a preprocessor to look like Pascal. One can change the tokens, (like {} -> begin..end), but that doesn't make it Pascal.

Chrome is NOT a preprocessor for C#. It is a native .net compiler that does compile Object Pascal. There are some changes to make the pascal more in line with the .net framework. (like NameSpace instead of Unit) Chrome even has features that C# does not have, so it would not be even possible to create Chrome as a preprocessor. (Async methods, Meta Classes...) --Talandor 11:04, 19 Jul 2006

This deletion request is non-sense. According to his argument we could just delete all commercial compilers from wikipedia. --Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho 19:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Advertising

The tone of the article seems more like advertising than anything else. 21:26, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Well this is a Wiki page, so anyone can add or change stuff on this article, but I am about the only one that contributes to this article. I am a happy user of Chrome, so I don't know much bad things I can say about it... Can you give me some hints on how to make it less advertising? Listing the language features is something that about all programming language articles do.
