Did they commit to a final syntax for generics and if so, what syntax are they using? Essentially, there seems to be the C++/C# inspired synax with bare Type<Param> angle bracket syntax (which Chrome also uses) and the somewhat quirkier but friendlier to the parser (and some argue closer to the 'spirit' of Pascal) FreePascal style with generic and specialise as new keywords. Personally, I think I prefer the bare angle brackets and I suspect CodeGear might as well for general market familiarity. I'm sure FreePascal will soon sport a Delphi compatibilty mode making the keywords optional anyways :-) TTFN, Paul.
