COBOL Description
COBOL is a programming language that was created for businesses. COBOL was created in 1959 and has been in use for a longer time than other programming languages. COBOL can be used as a procedural, imperative or object-oriented programming language.

Visual Basic
Microsoft has developed Visual Basic, an object-oriented programming language. Visual Basic makes it easy and fast to create type-safe.NET applications. Visual Basic focuses on supplying more of the features of the Visual Basic Runtime (microsoft.visualbasic.dll) to .NET Core and is the first version of Visual Basic focused on .NET Core. Visual Basic Runtime relies heavily on WinForms. These will be added to a later version. .NET is an open-source platform that allows you to build many types of apps. Regardless of the type of app you are building,.NET makes your code and project files look and behave the same. Each app has the same runtime, API and language capabilities. Visual Basic programs are built from standard building blocks. A solution can be made up of one or more projects. Each project can contain one or more assemblies. Each assembly is compiled using one or more source files.

Oxygene
Modern Pascal implementations like Oxygene are more relevant than ever. Oxygene is an all-purpose programming language that allows developers to create any kind of project on any number of platforms. It provides a variety of language features to make development easier, including basic object-oriented concepts such as classes with methods, properties and events, as well as specialized features that allow for specific development tasks, such as creating multi-threaded, safe applications. Many of these features are unique to Oxygene. All the features provided are based on Object Pascal's foundation and remain true to the language design paradigms which make Pascal easy to read and discover. Oxygene is an object-oriented language. Most code written in Oxygene lives within "classes".

Synergy DBL
Synergy DBL, a proven, ANSI standard business language, includes class libraries, a high performance database and.NET interoperability. It is the heart of the Synergy/DE product range. It is flexible and reliable and allows you to create portable, scalable enterprise applications. It supports both structured and object-oriented programming techniques. Synergy DBL is available in two forms: Synergy DBL traditional and Synergy DBL.NET. Traditional Synergy DBL supports many open technologies, including XML, HTTPS and ActiveX, that allow you interface with third-party apps and data. Multi-pass Synergy DBL compiler allows for strong prototyping and other strict errors-detection features. Synergy for.NET allows you to create Synergy libraries or applications that run natively within the.NET framework. You can then extend your applications using.NET Framework libraries, third-party controls, and interoperating with other languages.

Component Pascal
Component Pascal is a general purpose language in the tradition Oberon, Modula-2 and Pascal. It has the following key features: block structure, modularity and static typing with strong type-checking (also across module boundaries), type extension using methods, dynamic loading modules and garbage collection. Component Pascal is an object-oriented language because it supports type extension. An object is a variable in an abstract data type that contains private data (its state), and the procedures that operate on it. Extensible records are used to declare abstract data types. Component Pascal covers the majority of terms in object-oriented languages using the established vocabulary for imperative languages to reduce the number of notions related concepts. Component Pascal is a component-oriented language. It has complete type safety and requires a dynamic object model.
