thanks.
And, frankly, the project is called "Free Pascal" for a simple reason:
it is a *Pascal* compiler and a *Pascal* project.
The reason that I get myself on the verge of being given the tar&feather
treatment must be due to me being a non-native speaker of English :)
Otherwise I could have expressed myself better to make it obvious that I
am NOT assigning you guys new job descriptions <g>.
Far from it --who am I, anyway.
All I have been trying to say is this:
As far as I can tell, you don't reject incorporating code for compiling
for a new CPU architecture point blank, nor do you yourselves guarantee
that you will provide for every CPU out there (including life-time
support). If someone comes along and adds the necessary code, fine; if
not, well, life goes on without it.
Same here: What's wrong with considering, say, a new language back-end
(or front-end) much like a new CPU-support?
Cheers,
Adem
