Language comparison
Key differences between Oberon+ and ActionScript
| Characteristic | Oberon+ | ActionScript |
|---|---|---|
| Syntax | Simple, Pascal-like, minimalistic and clean syntax with a focus on readability. | C-like syntax, similar to JavaScript, with curly braces and more complex constructs. |
| Paradigm | Procedural and modular programming with some support for object-oriented features. | Object-oriented and event-driven programming, designed for interactive multimedia applications. |
| Typing | Statically typed with strong type checking at compile time. | Dynamically typed (in early versions), with optional static typing in ActionScript 3.0. |
| Performance | Efficient and lightweight, designed for simplicity and speed in compiled environments. | Performance depends on the Flash runtime; generally slower than natively compiled languages. |
