This argumentation is ridiculous, string usage in Java has tons of traps. To start with it is a special class type with special handling and immutable o.O Then you have no var parameters to pass them around (and even if you had, they are immutable)...etc But let's go back to real arguments: Do you have any big applications written in Lazarus? If you had, how happy would you be having to convert them from utf-8 to utf-16? -- Felipe Monteiro de Carvalho -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
