Generics + D2007/win32



Hi

given the interview with Allen Bauer

http://www.bitwisemag.com/copy/programming/borland/allen_bauer_interview.html

"Partial types, which we call will “class fragments,” parameterized types (aka. Generics), etc."

I still ask myself if we can expect generics for win32 as well. I remember that Danny Thorpe has written a longer article about the limitation of a potential Win32 implementation (and the limitations were really not that bad!).

For our development the introduction of Win32-Generics would be a big advantage and a reason to switch fast to D2007.

any feedback on that?

regards

Günther
