C# has a feature called 'generics'.

I looked pretty cool, though each advantages has disadvantages... still it
did make me consider to switch to C# lol.

But this text is reassuring that delphi won't stay behind =D

Prepare for "Whidbey" (.NET 2.0). Since the release of Whidbey has slipped
out to 2005, we can't deliver a commercial product to target Whidbey this
year. Nevertheless, compiler work to fully support Whidbey's new IL features
has to start now. The biggest item we're currently exploring is Delphi
syntax for parameterized types (generics). We've had general syntax ideas
cooking for several years now, so fleshing out the details in the spec and
catching the caveats has moved very quickly.
