.Net? Though I had suggested FPC to also implement some new Delphi language 
features which I think very usefull, but I agree with FPC core team that we 
don't need to support .Net yet.

IMO, .Net is just a bussiness buzz from M$ to attract their customers and 
prevent them from switching to Un*x systems. Speaking technically, I saw nothing 
new in the .Net technology. It's just a combination of Java (on the system 
architecture) and Delphi technology (on the system language), with extra 
resource requirements as the consequences. :p

And if we study the FPC compiler architecture, IMO it's very possible to support 
.Net. Adding .Net assembly generator on the FPC assembler generator layer would 
make FPC able to produce .Net executable. CMIIW. But, I think we don't need to 
do this now. :D
