Delphi is IMO the best available mode. ObjPas is unusable for me for many
reasons, few of them:

* Different parsing of comments
* Unlogical approach for static; modifier (I can't use static methods as
callback in objfpc... the main reason of introducing static in Delphi is
callback for api...)
* I cant use the same name for class var and for parameter in method

* generic and specialize keyword hell in extensively used generics...
