I like standards, they are the only thing keeping the community alive and for the moment they are set by Borland, i have a feeling Borland is going to C/C++/C# since those languages are widely used and i don't expect MS to learn Pascal when they will "eat" Borland.
Borland is slowly killing Delphi and introducing Delphi developers to C# and .NET, i hate that way of thinking, C is not the way to go, but who am i to to say what should we do, i have a feeling that if we don't make some standards soon it will be chaos in the Pascal world, we should not wait for Borland to set new standards, they won't do it, their standards are already too old.
