Yet, Delphi .NET was a failure. And nobody uses FPC for the JVM
platform. That's why I'm reluctant to implement a .NET target, even
though it's possible to do. I mean, given infinite developer time,
it's cool, but I don't have that much time, therefore, .NET is very
low priority.<br>

<p>Well, surely, you can probably use something like this with Free
Pascal as well:</p>

<p>We're eagerly waiting for your patches to make this work.</p>
<p>For me, it's not worth it. Calling .Free on objects doesn't
bother me, nor does it make development for me any more difficult.
With the built-in leak detection (-gh option), it's even easier.<br>
