    Well now you can pick and choose the layout you want. The option is all yours and noone is controlling how you use it.

    It does not provide 64-bit compiled code, if that is the question. Last I heard is they want to provide it 2011-2012 (unsure, though).

    To be honest, as far as I know not even the big players like Microsoft or Adobe are in the hurry to provide 64-bit compilers. 32 to 64 is not such a big gain as 16 bit to 32 bit was.

    I have a 64 bit system and it would be nice to have a solution which I can build 32 bit as well as 64 bit versions.

    Also I am still wandering around if I need to port my engine to C++. As Delphi is late with generic and I still don't have Delphi 2009 (or what version was it??), I cannot use generics. I know C++ had them from the beginning and they work very nice.

    Also a new thing that that would stop me from porting everything to C++ is the DX11 headers that are just released by http://directxfordelphi.blogspot.com!! Usually I got them from http://clootie.ru/, but it seems hes not here anymore .

    C++ is not strong in creating windows-gui's, so I leave my editor-code in Delphi. Well I only want to port my engine, not the editor. Also I my games are Delphi and my engine uses "plugins" that defines a game. That says I can also still build games in Delphi and C++ (and other languages if I want).

    It's called FPC. ...or Lazarus if you want an IDE.

    FPC has had generics for ages. And I'm quite sure that Delphi has it now. As of 2007 it seems. Check this out: http://www.felix-colibri.com/papers/..._tutorial.html also http://www.drbob42.com/examines/examinA4.htm from Dr. Bob. (which is an excerpt from the book 'Delphi 2009 Development Essentials' published a while ago )
