Jon,
This seems worthwhile to me. Standard Pascal, as we know, is a giant
pain and nearly useless.
But Object Pascal (which I think is equivalent to Free Pascal) is
another matter. IIRC it's trulyt object-oriented, very powerful,
and overall a better language than C++ or Java (IMO).
I don't know that anyone has ever tried this kind of interfacing.
There is a guy who made a Ruby/Delphi bridge named Apollo... try
looking him up.
And maybe you can help me lobby for an "in" operator for Ruby... ;)
Some people love that idea, some hate it. It's a minor point, but
it would improve my life a little.
Cheers,
Hal
