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;

Yeah, but then I'll have to deal with Embarcadero.
