Sven, relax - FPC is not your own project and not mine. We can't simple commit or revert what we want.
not only do we have to keep backwards compatibility, but the Delphi syntax is a nightmare to parse.
Yes, it is hard to parse but anyway you need to implement it. So this argument if false. And regards backward compatibility - it is not too much places to fix: some in FPC itself and some in Lazarus components.
Mode ObjFPC is not for Delphi compatiblity. It's there to implement a cleaner variant of the (Object) Pascal language (and Michael wrote), and if that means higher maintenance burden, so be it.
That cleaner variants split pascal for nothing - to make 3-5 developers happy.
