C# vs. Component Pascal vs. Java vs. Scilab Comparison Chart

Component Pascal is a general-purpose language in the tradition of Pascal, Modula-2, and Oberon. Its most important features are block structure, modularity, separate compilation, static typing with strong type checking (also across module boundaries), type extension with methods, dynamic loading of modules, and garbage collection. Type extension makes Component Pascal an object-oriented language. An object is a variable of an abstract data type consisting of private data (its state) and procedures that operate on this data. Abstract data types are declared as extensible records. Component Pascal covers most terms of object-oriented languages by the established vocabulary of imperative languages in order to minimize the number of notions for similar concepts. Complete type safety and the requirement of a dynamic object model make Component Pascal a component-oriented language.

Numerical analysis or Scientific computing is the study of approximation techniques for numerically solving mathematical problems. Scilab provides graphics functions to visualize, annotate and export data and offers many ways to create and customize various types of plots and charts. Scilab is a high level programming language for scientific programming. It enables a rapid prototyping of algorithms, without having to deal with the complexity of other more low level programming language such as C and Fortran (memory management, variable definition). This is natively handled by Scilab, which results in a few lines of code for complex mathematical operations, where other languages would require much longer codes. It also comes with advanced data structure such as polynomials, matrices and graphic handles and provides an easily operable development environment.
