There’s so many little differences and mode switches at this point it’s not good enough to say “go to Delphi’s website for more information” and even if you did why would you rely on them? It’s just a big missed opportunity to not take control of language promotion at the place the people are downloading the compiler. This level of misdirection is enough to lose users before they even consider anything.
