Some early info about new Delphi 10.4 features

https://community.idera.com/developer-tools/b/blog/posts/get-ready-for-the-10-4-beta-with-update-subscription

1 Language Server Protocol for Delphi

2 Language Enhancements: Managed Records

3 Unified memory management across all platforms

my guesses:

1: no idea.

2: management operators for records, maybe also simple record inheritance to reuse e.g. a refcount record pattern

3: (also?) having some of the iOS refcounted classes system for the windows targets?

If I had to guess probably support for the language server functionality used in Visual Studio Code.

Yay me, we got something incompatible again...

3: (also?) having some of the iOS refcounted classes system for the windows targets?

I personally think the other way round. But we'll see...

Yes, some people on the Delphi forum also pointed me to

So I hadn't dreamed that I had read that somewhere :P Thanks for the link.

I wonder if managed records with default properties (like Maciej had planned) will be a better way to solve this...
