the compiler goes over your program text, it attaches its own
prefixes to identifiers. This allows records, objects, units,
procedures, and other large program structures to use the same names
without conflict and remain organized during compilation. This goes on
behind the scenes.
IMHO it is what makes Object Pascal stand out. C does not have this.
For linux, you can interface the C libraries and build greatly
enhanced structures.
This is described in various docs.
You can't go wrong with either pascal. But you must enjoy it. I am
grateful to the pascal community, and the linux community. You, being
an experienced old guy, must appreciate such a quality choice for
free. Good luck to your son. It is better today than yesteryear.
