Looks like I sparked quite a bit of interest! Perhaps we could work
on a Standard instead of just on the Compiler itself? This gives people
more of a look on what 'could' happen, instead of a Wiki where everyone
can just edit. A system where voting is necessary, just like Standards
from W3C, Khronos, etc, etc. A mailing list where people debate
endlessly is not productive; we could have had a # of votes to see what
should/should not be implemented, instead of a few key members deeming
what's 'pascalish' or not. You may create that fork/branch now, but who
knows who will actually end up merging it in? If they ever do. This is
why we need a standard, so that there is NO wasted work, and people can
get experience implementing things that are well documented first and
know how they should act.
*Plan first, Then Code*: I believe was said? ;)
Then let us plan a standard, and what each feature should do, *then code*.
I hope there is enough rally for this to happen!

Well, that's a political argument, I think: we can choose to be
not compatible with Oxygene :)
(whether or not this would constitute suicide or not, is up for
debate)
To start any work on this I need to provide a few more patches related
to Delphi compatibility. I would like to return to the subject in near
future.
The rest is in many cases a matter of taste. We can endlessly
debate what
is more readable :)
Good. Now you're talking sense :)
I look forward to your contributions!
Nice to hear that. So I guess I don't need any fork ;) phew!
