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

Free Pascal compiler can do 64 bit but no performance benefits so far ?! I am developing a GA (genetical algorithm) that needs a large amount of data to work with. My development machine has 64 GB RAM and 4 cores. In that space, I can run simultaneously 4 processes that each use 16 GB of
