Angle bracket syntax is what we were demoed in the Highlander beta. That was .NET only, generics don't come to Win32 until the next release which is early 2008.
Incidentally that release (the early 2008 one with generics) will be the magic silver bullet which will inspire us to upgrade from Delphi 5 to the latest Delphi (presumably 2008).

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.
