It resulted into a nice thread of strengths and weaknesses of the classic and nextgen compilers.
I’m emphasising a long term wish for the Win32 platform to have two compilers: a classic one and an LLVM nextgen one.
Reasons include this:
So, please please please Delphi team: provide an LLVM nextgen compiler for the Win32 platform.

the release of 1.2 is almost there! We are working hard to deliver it shortly after the next Delphi release which will happen … soonish, I think. ;)
The release/1.2 branch has been around for a while – please take a look if you haven’t already. It contains a lot of new features and bugfixes. I will tell you more about some of the amazing features next time which won’t take as long as it took since the last blog post – promise. :)
Apart from a very interesting take on DI resolvers, the above great info too!
Please take a look at spring4d/branch/release/1.2 as it has been very stable for quite some time.

Some links that were useful getting back into using Delphi with resource scripts and include files:
Maybe I should have considered this alternative:

… there’s no need to use WaitForMultipleObjects in Step 2. It’s fairly easy to keep a counter of active threads in the pool (interlocked-incremented when a thread starts, interlocked-decremented when a thread is finished). When the counter reaches zero (no more active threads), signal an event. With only one event to wait for, you can use WaitForSingleObject…
So no more 64-thread (MAXIMUM_WAIT_OBJECTS) limits for pools…

“Just a couple of bugfixes”, but one is very important to me: [WayBack] double clicking on a test-result now doesn’t freeze the IDE and brings you to the right source code line.

Almost 2 decades after the first Delphi Linux support in [WayBack] Borland Kylix by an full tool-chain (IDE, compiler, debugger, libraries) running on Linux, Embarcadero/Idera is about to support Linux again in a cross-compiler fashion that was originally scheduled for late 2016 as Delphi Godzilla [WayBack] Embarcadero RAD Studio 2016 Product Approach and Roadmap – Embarcadero Community and [WayBack] Linux support for Delphi to be available end of 2016 – Synopse.
It seems to be finally getting here as Delphi 10.2 Tokyo when you look at the [Archive.is] Delphi Linux Boot Camp promotion for instance at [WayBack] Delphi Linux Boot Camp – Community Blogs – Embarcadero Community.
I’m curious at what people expect from it.
So please comment your expectations, for instance:
