Class methods have been around since Delphi 2. Where have you been all these years?
Not explicitly, as I said, you cannot for example call them on the class, you call them on a nil instance which is hardly elegant php for example you would call a class method by TClass::Method()

To reinforce this, why did they introduce a 'class' keyword if they were already there?

Class types, consts and vars came in D2006, I think, or might be in D2005.

My point is Delphi (generic) does not have Class Methods/Vars or
are you saying that 'Delphi' only applies to D2005+

As for sarcasm, its a matter of opinion I found his response smug.

I'll answer for Chee Wee (not Chee - common mistake)

These articles were by Nick about changes since Delphi 7.
http://dn.codegear.com/article/34325 (VCL)
http://dn.codegear.com/article/34323 (IDE)
http://dn.codegear.com/article/34324 (Language)

I don't think his original reply was sarcastic either. Why would he
need to clarify something, you're the one that didn't do any research
before saying something. Especially when coming from a version that is
like 6 years old
(http://delphi.wikia.com/wiki/Borland_Compiler_Release_Dates).

Even if you don't run the latest version, it is hardly a great effort
to subscribe to some blogs (www.delphifeeds.com).

As for when they came in, they are a by product of Delphi.NET. So
codegear doing .NET was good for something! So they came into the
win32 around D2005 and have become less buggy each release since.

cheers,

When did they sneak in?, Before you get all sarcastic I'd suggest you
clarify things,
Some of us are using older versions (D6 in my case)
