C++ is not only a different syntax, it also comes with its own standard 
libraries, object model, templates and more. Java and C# also come with 
their own memory management (garbage collection). Such features are 
incompatible with the FPC model, and IMO would require something like 
P++ or P# languages and compilers, before we can think about such 
language integration at all.

If somebody wants to start his own FPC++ or FPC# project, he should know 
that there is near nothing that could be borrowed from the FPC 
implementation or libraries.
