> When I first messed with it, it lacked generics even though Delphi supported them.

Unless you mean in the "delphi mode" specifically (which i'm not sure how it handled generics support), this isn't true since Free Pascal introduced generics support before Delphi did and sadly when Delphi introduced generics they decided to make them incompatible with Free Pascal's syntax (which i personally prefer since it is more explicit).




Ah yes, to be clear I'm referring to Delphi-compatible generics. FPC generics I found out about later.
