I was on freenode irc #fpc earlier and asked some questions but not enough people were online to get an answer.
My question was/is: **** Will there ever again come a point where FPC attempts to bring in more compatibility with Delphi? Specifically, in regards to operator overloading and generic language syntax. **** I'd really like to use generics in my cross platform graphic widgets toolkit and have it continue to work with both Delphi and FPC, but as of right I can't tolerate the enormous amounts of {$IFDEFs} required to do so. For those interested, here is a video showcasing a very old version (circa 2004) of my toolkit. Compiles on Windows (Delphi 7) and Linux (FPC). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqeFZ2zhszU Screens from my picture browser (circa 2006) : http://imagebot.org/snapshops/photo-grid-animate.jpg http://imagebot.org/snapshops/3d-picture-gallery.jpg
