I wonder where you were when Operators feature has been added to
pascal? Or generics?
Generics was implemented without my knowledge. I only found out when
suddenly
the classes unit had been changed to use them. After a horrible
discussion, this was reversed, because of the drop in speed you got when
using generics.
Ah! So that is where those ifdefs in classes come from :) I always
wondered...
Moreover, Delphi's generic TList<> is in generics.collections, not in classes.
Luckily we don't have a generic TList<> at all yet ^^
There is no tstringlist<>, they went with a Dictionary instead.
Which reminds me that I wanted to port Python's dictionary
implementation which is said to be the fastest around :)
