Simplified Spring4D for FreePascal
Issue #304
wontfix
Hi,
Spring4D is my standard way to do SOLID code in Delphi. But I use FreePascal too... I would like to have Spring4D for FreePascal too. Can we colaborate to give FreePascal Spring4D?
Thanks!

I am glad to hear that you enjoy using the library.
But I have say no - it would be too much work and in fact almost impossible to make many things work in FreePascal because they are lacking fundamental language features that are used in many places of Spring4D: anonymous methods, enhanced RTTI and attributes.
Even though they might work on some parts it would require significant effort to make code compatible and would probably require a ton of conditional compiling which I am trying to keep to a minimum to make maintaining the code as painless as possible. Making the library compatible across 14 Delphi versions and over half a dozen target platforms is often causing enough trouble.
