Re: Unmanaged Possibilities

Just some random questions I was thinking about. I am one of 2 (Win32)
Delphi Developers among a group of 11 (2 Delphi, 5 C++, 4 C#) and I am
always getting harrased (most of the time jokingly of course) about
working
in Delphi from the C# guys. It sure would be nice if I could at least do
the
same thing C# could, as well as have the product run faster. Wouldn't it
be
nice to at least have Unmanaged Delphi and Delphi for .NET at least have
the
same language features?

You may get a kick out of this article, which shows how to implement
something similar to c++ templates in Delphi. The linked example shows in
particular how to use templates to enable use of generics. The support for
generics is compile time support (as in c++) and not runtime support (as
..net has). I believe a number of people have made productive use of these
"Rossen Assenov" type Delphi generics:
