Source: The Deadlock Empire
Via: Face the dragon. Learn the ropes of concurrent programming. – Lars Fosdal – Google+
Source code is available and focuses on C#; maybe one day I’ll make a Delphi version: deadlockempire/deadlockempire.github.io: The Deadlock Empire: Slay dragons, learn concurrency!
BTW: a great book (with nice illustrations at both github and kernel.org) is Source: Is Parallel Programming Hard, And, If So, What Can You Do About It? [WayBack]

Got a very quick response Range combo – Paste.ie – Irish For Pastebin on:
I’ll write some unit tests soon and make it into a unit for testing.
For now it looks exactly what I need. In addition, I learned how this algorithm is called Range extraction – Rosetta Code and the opposite Range expansion – Rosetta Code.
Basically these lists are the format where a user can enter the range of pages to be printed.
The code by Asbjørn Heid uses a Functional record definition allowing for function binding just like in C++ Boost.Bind [WayBack].
Based on that, I made this changeset: https://bitbucket.org/jeroenp/besharp.net/commits/7205b070a4e6457675a083b78d26659da506fc08

A few pieces of Delphi compiler history:
Most notably, the Object Pascal/Delphi compiler is written in mostly C with a smattering of C++, the editor kernel (sans display rendering) and debugger engine (process control/symbol table management) were written in C++. All of which I’ve worked on throughout my 24+ years on that team.
The 16bit compiler was written in pure assembler. The current compiler is written in C. It was derived from an Amiga 68000 Turbo Pascal compatible compiler. It’s never been written in Object Pascal.
That being said, there was an effort several years ago to completely rework/re-architect the compiler. That was done in OP. It just barely got to the “hello world” stage before it was set aside.
