I think that's the root cause of the discussion: Some want to make FPC/Lazarus into a (possibly exact) clone of Delphi (which means to follow every sh*t that is and will be put into this product) and others (like me) hope for a more Pascal like programming environment which at least avoids future (maybe even removes existing) obscurity crept into Pascal with Borland/Embarcadero. The ease of use was the reason for success of Turbo-Pascal but meanwhile this goal has been put aside and it becomes a more C-like environment (with lots of ugly hacks..). On the other hand I understand the demand for compatibility if there is a lot of (Delphi) code that needs to be reused and cannot be changed easily. -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
