    Laughing is good.  I feel sad.

    Maybe because I come from a C++ background, I find Delphi's generics quite frustrating at times.  I wish they were more powerful.  (In many ways, some of the Delphi-isms, such as constraints, are great - I just wish they were more powerful too!)

    Actually it was more of that mad kind of laughing that is usually followed by destroying something ...

    Well I'm glad I made you laugh like a madman, I think  ;-). Also nice to see I'm not the only one caring about binary bloat issues.

    I don't do so for Windows applications although they can become ridiculously big at times as Mason experienced. But with Mobile platforms now I think people prefer some hundred K app over some 10 or more MB monster (which of course is not only because of generics).
