Markus Joos started a nice G+ thread on anonymous method formatting which ended up into a discussion of functional programming and a peek into what Spring4D 1.3 can offer.
Note you might need to be part of the G+ Delphi Developers Community to read the thread.

This is the way a wiki should work:
Thanks Simon Stuart for asking, and many others (especially Johan) for providing the info.
Note the version that is missing (;

Normal people would give Valentine presents today.
But 20 years ago, Borland thought it was a nice idea to release Delphi. Then a revolutionary new tool and lots of scepticism. Now – after 20 years – still going strong, despite all kinds of funny things that management at Borland, InPrise, etc did and the wild ride the market had.
Happy birthday Delphi!

After a hectic week bringing back memories from a long time ago, I remembered the really early Delphi days.
Long before [WayBack] QC2747, back when it was still called AppBuilder, several people – including me – made the wish for an undo/redo functionality on the Delphi compuserve board.
Back then, the argument was that the designer needed to be restructured to do that. Now that it has – to accommodate FMX – and it is time, especially for the vast majority of Delphi users primarily using the designers to get work done.
So my wish, after 20+ years of Delphi use:
Please bring multi-level undo/redo functionality in the Delphi designer (form, datamodule, etc).

Cool: this makes it way easier to do repeated Delphi installs for testing purposes:
Setup.exe /s LANGUAGE=English EN=TRUE DE=TRUE KEY1=XXXX KEY2=XXXXXX KEY3=XXXXXX KEY4=XXXX
There are many more parameters in Delphi sorcery: Unattended Delphi installation – how?, but the above is already a good start.
Thanks Stefan Glienke for having shared this!

Because of Delphi sorcery: New dynamic array type in Spring4D 1.2, I updated this article from 2009: Delphi operator overloading: table of operators, names, and some notes on usage and ‘glitches’.
When I wrote the original article in 2009 the in operator wasn’t documented to be overloadable.
It is overloadable, and newer documentation includes it: http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/Operator_Overloading_%28Delphi%29.
In addition I clarified a few things better (like not needing to return Boolean for comparison and set operators) and fixed a few typos and links.
The glitches are still there, so I’ve kept those.

This used to be a great Delphi-only feature that I missed in Visual Studio, but I found the downloadable free extension Favorite Documents extension.
It is a by Sergey Vlasov, who has a whole bunch of free and paid Visual Studio add-ins, extensions and tools.

There is a nice Delphi memory thread at G+ initiated by Tommi Prami for which I added some links to the memory managers:
More interesting comments (most people seem to favour FastMM, as they can get very good performance out of it even in multi-threaded environments) at There have not been much of the Talk of MemoryManagers lately….
Note there is also TBBMM based on TBB, but it seems unmaintained.
Barry Kelly’s memory manager is based on Boehm-Demers-Weiser GC.
