Programming language and toolkit

The main distinguishing features of Delphi and Kylix from other IDEs are the Delphi language, the VCL/CLX (Visual Component Library), strong emphasis on database connectivity, and a large number of third party components.

• delegation of interface implementation to a field or property of the class
