aiui, you'll be seeing a delivery for your productivity concerns very soon, the Weaver release. And some of the enhancements coming in the IDE look very interesting, as do the far reaching extensions to the RTTI system and long overdue encapsulation of the OpenTools API (which in turn will likely open the door for 3rd party IDE productivity improvement projects).
Project X (xplat) and Project Commodore (64-bit) do not impinge on Project Weaver (or indeed on Project Chromium (VS2010 support for "Prism")). -- "Smile", they said. "it could be worse!" So I did. And it was. -----Original Message----- From: delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz [mailto:delphi-boun...@delphi.org.nz] On Behalf Of Alister Christie Sent: Wednesday, 17 June 2009 11:55 To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] Embarcadero article Personally I don't care much about 64 bit. Cross platform would be nice, but realistically we have 1 or 2 inquiries out of hundreds regarding support for mac or linux - no one has ever asked me about when we are going to support 64 bit. What I want to see in future versions of Delphi is stuff that increases my productivity.

Feedback we're getting from customers and potential customers worldwide is that cross platform is a higher priority. I don't deny that there are people who desperately want 64 bit, I know people in that boat around Asia. Perhaps those who want cross platform more haven't taken the time to vote on your poll. The ratio of responses on this list has also been interesting. > > I am genuinely sorry that we can't get them both out earlier, and I sincerely hope this decision doesn't make it impossible for you to use Delphi. Ultimately though, all we can do is gather as much data as possible make the best decision we can, and then adjust as we go. That's what we're doing. > > Cheers > Malcolm > > CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This email message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
