Sorry guys, I read this branch...and I disappointed.
You positioned yourself as experienced developers (at least Joanna Carter, I think is experienced).

But you still fight for thing which seems like absolutely clean even for novice in Win32 development.


Who's fighting here? I'm not, Barry is not and Joanna definitely is not fighting, too.
When I said that "Most IDisposables have a finalizer" then it was my personal impression. I haven't run any statistics over the BCL.
Apparently, Barry has RE'd more BCL classes than me.
And when he says it is extremely rare, well, I've no problem at all accepting that.


Seems like it will require more knowledge than usual Win32 and development will slower. Otherwise, applications will much slower. Otherwise applications will earn too much resources and memory.....


Yep, but it doesn't need an Albert Einstein to see those problems. Most people are just way to ignorant of the DOs and DON'Ts of this new platform. (There are a lot of ex-VB'ers there, you know *g* )
E.G.: If you would have ran Reflector against your D.Net sample with all those crazy SetLength calls, you wouldn't have dared to post it here as a performance comparison.
But you didn't. You just thought you could cross compile Win32<->.Net and even after seeing an extreme performance penalty, you didn't look what IL D.Net has emitted.
