<div class="moz-cite-prefix"> Looks like I sparked quite a bit of
interest! Perhaps we could work on a Standard instead of just on
the Compiler itself? This gives people more of a look on what
'could' happen, instead of a Wiki where everyone can just edit. A
system where voting is necessary, just like Standards from W3C,
Khronos, etc, etc. A mailing list where people debate endlessly is
not productive; we could have had a # of votes to see what
should/should not be implemented, instead of a few key members
deeming what's 'pascalish' or not. You may create that fork/branch
now, but who knows who will actually end up merging it in? If they
ever do. This is why we need a standard, so that there is NO
wasted work, and people can get experience implementing things
that are well documented first and know how they should act.<br>
<br>
<b>Plan first, Then Code</b>: I believe was said? ;) <br>
<br>
Then let us plan a standard, and what each feature should do, <b>then
code</b>.<br>
I hope there is enough rally for this to happen!<br>

Well, that's a political argument, I think: we can choose
to be not compatible with Oxygene :)<br>

<div>To start any work on this I need to provide a few more
patches related to Delphi compatibility. I would like to
return to the subject in near future.<br>
