<p>- attributes are being worked on<br>
- for anonymous methods exists a branch with an initial implementation though this is currently on hiatus :(<br>
- generics is being worked on (constraints are nearly finished, generic methods are planned next)<br>
- what do you miss for interfaces?<br>
- Unicode support is being worked on<br>
(- extended RTTI is on my ToDo list)<br>
(- for type helpers I have already done a first proof of concept implementation)<br>
(- dynamic packages is currently not being worked on, but nevertheless planned for the future)</p>
<p>>This can be (or not) a start point to depart from playing "Delphi catch up" at all cost and port only the features that matches the fpc direction (whatever it is)</p>
<p>I believe the final diversion will take place if Embarcadero really implements a new compiler that throws away much backwards compatibility (as is currently suggested by things like the string helper, 0-based strings and reference counted class instances)</p>
