I think all efforts should the concentrated on providing mainstream features that are common in newer development platforms (Java/C#) . I feel that spending time on making Delphi code more readable is a waste since there are SO many other issues that need to be dealt with.
C# has a lot of ideas FPC can take on. I say contributors should think about bringing in new functionality and Expanding FPC to include such features rather than deal with Delphi issues. The benefits of using FPC (write 1 compile X OSs) far outweigh any issues an individual will have at learning which Library replaces Win32 or what not. FPC/Lazarus has come a long way in the 2 years I've been following the project. Keep up the good work and push forward... Don't get side tracked by all these compatibility issues. Infact, add more features that are currently not present in Pascal - Lamda Expressions etc... A.I. in Code Insight... There are hundreds of new issues to pioneer - let's not get caught up in a quagmire. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
