Different people see different needs in language. There is nothing bad 
not to use and not understand some of the language features.

I used for-in loop many times in my applications simple because it 
reduce the code and therefore makes it more readable.

I also used types inside classes - this is a great feature. I don't need 
to polute global namespace with internal types.

I would use anonymouse methods in pascal - I use them in javascript when 
I need to perform something asynchronosly.

I use avanced record syntax because it makes code more understandable.

I scarry to use generics but that simple because they have many bugs.
