Meanwhile, I'm sorry to say, we are almost halfway May, and we still haven't seen anything. Looking at the article posted here about the Delphi roadmap, I would say that Simon Kissel has decided to put his money on Codegear anyway (I assume he's a businessman, so one cannot blame him for that).

No, it is not good to be considered. He complains we don't care about speed or size. I have to correct him: We care, if we can optimize something we will. As a proof FPC 2.2 will both generate faster code and generate smaller exes. I believe FPC people do really care about speed and size

[fpc-devel] space char inside identifier's name

That is wrong. If the possibility exists, it will be used (at least in some cases by some people). In many cases this code will have to be maintained by different people too. There will be guys which can't stand this kind of identifiers but they are forced to use it. So this feature renders to a

Why not both? Delphi is windows-only, so even if FPC became 100% compatible with D7, the libraries already available for Delphi are usually windows specific, and FPC libraries are cross-platform. I believe you know about Kylix, which is Delphi clone on linux. Delphi IDE is windows only, as
