  6. About this documentation
From Pascal/Delphi
You will have to get used to the C syntax and the C way of doing things. The C/C++/D syntax looks a bit weird and full of special characters to the human eye :) but it is very efficient - your fingers will be pleased. (If you want to go to extremes, learn Perl *g*).

The "import" syntax is very similar to "uses" in Pascal, modules are like units and strings work almost the same way as in Delphi: you won't have to worry about string length and zero termination unless your interfacing to one of the "lesser" (*g*) languages.

To do: Add a lot more of comparison to Pascal and Delphi, keep on laughing at C/C++ people for not having binary-safe strings!
