FPC has support for generics since around 2006 and has matured since 
(especially in 2.7.1 since I began working on them). Delphi has support 
for generics since Delphi 2009.

For more information about FPC's generics (in 2.6.0) you can take a look 
here: http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/ref/refch8.html#x91-1010008

You can also look at
$fpcdir/rtl/objpas/fgl.pas (generic lists and map)
and
$fpcdir/packages/fcl-stl/
