I’ve used Visual Studio, Netbeans, QT and other enviroments and I can tell you that to this day, Delphi is still the best for RAD tool out there. Period!

Delphi 2010 is EVEN BETTER than Delphi 2009. I am loving it (other than help, but it is getting better).

Me too! I really hope Embarcadero succeeds. They’re definitely on the right track with the 2009 version.

I’m using Delphi for almost 9 years !
Nothing is impossible with this great tool.
The new RAD Studio edition is really really a good product. I really hope that Embarcadero will lead Delphi back to it’s glory road.

You could use Castalia for inline variable declaration. They’ve been improving the IDE pretty well though, so perhaps this nice feature will be in a future versions:

Good question!

In your example the prefix is hard coded in the log function. If you’d like another log function with a different prefix you’d have to create another function. Additionally, the code that utilizes your log interface is bound to that particular log function.
In my example I can easily create a different (prefixed) log function dynamically and have the utilizing code invoke it without change.
Of course the same effect can be achieved with a nice object oriented approach, (or even with your approach and a global prefix variable) but the purpose of this post was not to show how to create a prefixed log function…
