Ah, the days when I typed "begin" and "end" at the speed of puting a curly brace.

Don't actually feeling the need to go back though. It's not about language properties anymore, but the library ecosystem. I hated when anything useful in Delphi was a C dll port. You're never a first class citizen.

Good to know that many things are native Pascal nowadays, even some great Pascal people choose to either write from scratch or native porting instead of writing wrappers. Personally I don't mind using wrappers, but having native Pascal counterpart is better in the long run since no 3rd party implementation dependency required, things can be fixed and improved right away.
