Very closely.
The original architect of Turbo Pascal is Anders Hejlsberg (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Hejlsberg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anders_Hejlsberg), who also was recruited to Microsoft directly by Bill Gates.
Anders went on to architect J++, the .NET Framework and C#, and TypeScript.
C# is heavily influenced by Turbo Pascal / Delphi because they have the same original architect. And Lazarus + FPC are open-source implementations of the Delphi 7 IDE + Object-Pascal language (same as Delphi).
If you are at home in Visual Studio, using Lazarus will feel very familiar.
Object-Pascal is easy to learn. A great site to bookmark when learning Delphi or Lazarus + FPC is:
