    Of modern language features only generics are really useful.
    As it is really boring to copy/paste the same code just to create a hash map with different key/value types.
    From the other side, in Delphi generics are achievable without language support - there is an include-based approach compatible with older versions of Delphi and FreePascal.
    So I wrote a library with generic collections and algorithms based on the approach and have no need in a language support of generics.

    Sorry for the potentially ignorant question, but how much of that is/will be supported by FPC?
    I once tried to change the world. But they wouldn't give me the source code. Damned evil cunning.
