Yeah, of course C++ is weird with its array-pointer duality. That's because it's based on C, and that is just as weird with this.<p>Pascal doesn't have any weird array-pointer duality, so Object Pascal doesn't either.<p>Feels pretty much like all those L33t K3wl H4xx0rs from the 1970s who claimed that "Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal"[1] were <i>wrong,</i> and St. Niklaus is having the last laugh. Muahahahaa!<p>___<p>[1] And all their latter-day followers who never read Bruce Feirstein's <i>Real Men Don't Eat Quiche</i> (and most of whom don't even know what quiche <i>is),</i> but spout off about "quiche-eaters" anyway -- yeah, I'm looking at you, Primeagen... Sigh.
