Normally, you have a committee of people working on such things,
and on top you have a backlog which will probably take the rest of your life to catch up with.

But hey, it's your time, don't let me stop you...

Well, I'm going to be living those years anyway, and despite some occasional disagreements, I do enjoy developing for FPC!

Having a specification that the majority agrees upon would help in ensuring programmers don't fall foul of some of the nuances of the language, and having a committee for it stops absolute stinkers of features like the inlined var definitions in the most recent version of Delphi (yuck!).  Also, if I suddenly die from getting struck by a meteorite or something, at least most of the specifics of *pure* functions will be defined so someone can pick up where I left off if they feel up to it.

P.S. I think your return e-mail got a little screwed up in the last message.
