Mike James: >Freepascal now includes templates.<
I didn't know it. They are for classes only for now, but in future they may add for records, functions, etc, too. They are named Generics: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refch8.html It has operator overloading too: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refch12.html (And other things like built-in properties were already present). FreePascal generics are more limited than D2 templates, but FreePascal has metaclasses and RTTI that replace some template purposes. Now FreePascal looks like a quite expressive language, you can probably use it to do most of things you can do with D :-) Bye, bearophile
