Does this support declaring variables anywhere (as opposed to only in the beginning of a function)? That was my primary complaint when using Lazarus.

Delphi has allowed this for quite some time.

  • Yes - OP, you can do this via inline vars and consts:

      begin
        var foo : string := 'hello';
        const c : integer = 5;
        var bar := GetBar(); // type inference even
        
        // and in blocks:
        for var i := low(x) to high(x) do...
      end;
