What's New in the Object Pascal Language

Better support for dynamic arrays and intrinsic type helpers are two of the most recent language features, but this session will also go back to ARC memory management and offer a roundup of past additions, offering an overview of where Object Pascal is today.

Where can I download code samples that showed in the presentation?

I still wish the compiler would treat class helpers like anything else in scope - ie: by using scope rules instead of insisting that there be only one.

Sure, it can create some strangeness, but let's be honest - that is *NOT* new behaviour for the language.  In fact, you used exactly that effect (order or scope) in your interfaces example.

In many ways, since the rest of the language uses rules of scope to find the right thing, the single class helper is the larger problem (violation of pattern leading to handcuffing your developers for artificial reasons)
