Re: Any Plan to support Delphi for Linux in MOrmot 2?

No plan:
- we don't have the Delphi for Linux compiler itself (no licence);
- the FPC compiler seems much better and stable on POSIX systems (the Delphi LVVM backend needs to be improved);
- no one proved than the previous assumption was false (and almost noone seem to use the Delphi for Linux compiler for complex server side project, from what we saw on the Internet);
- we rely on shortstring for small stack-allocated text and it is not available on that target (is it still true?);
- we don't need it internally.
